What brought you here?

[Andy Hamilton]

Its easy for me to talk about what brought me here, I started the forum - back in October 2004. It doesn't seem like almost 7 years ago. But I wondered how you lot got here? Was it a search for nettle beer or did someone you know tell you about the forum?

What brought you here?

Wanting to 'live the dream' and needing somewhere to discuss ideas about being frugal and smallholding in order to make the dream a reality. havent yet achieved the dream, but closer than I was.

Googling 'How to pickle beetroot'

Wind turbines - still not got one

I cannot for the life of me remember. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I stick silly searches (sometimes even meaningful ones) into Google - maybe it was one of those. But it doesn't really matter. Once I'd had a furtle through the site, I was hooked.

Glad you did what you did, Andy.

Having done a search of all my posts - 249 pages of them I find that it was slugs that brought me here too!

Browsing on the net looking for other people who were as nutty as me, funny thing is now everyone who said I was crazy is now getting the same bug! So I will be sending them here...

I was browsing the forums for a couple of years before getting the courage to coming out of lurkdom! Originally found the site after reading John Seymour's Complete Guide... and looking for more info online. I was hooked!

it was a link from a home education forum - to the main website - was some time later that I found the forum - back then (2006) the forum was a sort of (unintentional) secret

Interestingly given the time of year and a couple of other new threads, Elderflower Champagne recipe! Comes up high in Google.

I was fed up of hearing "why don't you just buy it?" and thought I couldn't be the only crazy one out there. Thanks to you, I now know I'm nowhere near crazy (some of you, however... )
A great source of inspiration.
