Greetings from Hampshire!

Post: # 243575Post Christian »

Hello All!

Just a quick note to say hello.... :wave:

Lived in the country for about 5 years, with my 4 hens and veggie garden.

Looking forward to reading all the topics for some great advice. :icon_smile:

Hi Christian,
welcome to the forum :wave: have you moved to the country from a town. Or to this country from another country?

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!

Moved from Camberley in Surrey to just near Thruxton.... :iconbiggrin: Moving again in 3 weeks (hopefully) just 3 miles away. Smaller garden, but taking the hens with me and plans are afoot for raised beds etc etc

Leaving behind a big garden and veggie area :( But as it will be just me and the hens (and maybe a couple of cats if my friend gets her way :wink: ) I should have enough space to grow my fruit and veggies!
:iconbiggrin:

Into crafting and have a stall at a local craft centre a couple of times a year - work for an airline the rest of the time (don't beat me wit the eco stick) :lol: :lol: :wink:

Thanks for the welcome!

Oooh, I'm always in Ludgershall Co-Op and get my hair cut there. The butcher's round the corner, do the best sausages! Try the Cowboys and breakfast chipolatas (sp)? *dribbles*

:iconbiggrin: I reckon I've tried all their varieties of sausage at one time or another :thumbup: been here for some years even though I'm not 'local' am guessing you don't get your haircuts at the co-op really :wink: but maybe across the road from there?
