Hello from South Lincs.

Post: # 229915Post troutrunner »

Hello to all,

Just a little of me, I started life as a Vehicle Technician at 16 and since those days have worked in many other trades including most aspects of the Building trade, Made animal housing and bred poultry for a living and the list goes on.

I only drive old cars and don't have a modern eurobox, my main vehicles are an Austin A30 1955, Morris Minor 1967 and the faithful Landrover 1965.

I keep poultry for my own use but am thinking of extending this a little.

I am an old age static as the caravan is 35ft and to big to tow, I have about five acres and I am wondering what to do or grow on it. The latest thought is to turn it into woodland for coppicing, willow, hazel and other useful products and have come here to help me learn and get some advice.

Thanks in anticipation, Paul

Hi there and welcome :wave:
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!
