Hello from Swindon
Hello from Swindon
Hello! After a bit of lurking I've got organised enough to join in! Just moved back to Swindon after 20 years of living all round the country and now settled so can be more ish-ish :] Looking to get chickens again and currently plotting lots of raised beds in our south-facing but very narrow garden - have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of brain-picking!

Hi there and welcome 

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hello and welcome from another newbie.
Hubby made his first ever raised bed for me at the weekend, out of an old pallet. I'm very pleased with it!

Re: Hello from Swindon
Hi Ju
Welcome to ish!!! There is quite a gang of us from Swindon now, and even more from Wiltshire. Every now and then we have a meet up, and we had a pot luck dinner a couple of months ago.
We have chooks in the back garden, and hubby built me another raised bed a couple of weeks ago. I got the wood from a skip lol.
Take care, Nikki
