Hi from Bristol

Post: # 25872Post Andy Hamilton »

You have all had a chance to say your hellos on here but I never had so thought I would do it now a couple of thousand posts later :lol:

I live in Bristol with my girlfriend Emma who is writing a fantasy novel.

I try to grow as much food as I can in my back yard and on my alltoment. I cook all my meals from scratch and just recently I have been collecting bike parts out of skips in order to give bikes to my mates. A kind of pay back as a very generous ssisher gave me her bike that she never used.

I perposly don't drive and instead travel by train, coach, on foot or by bike to get from A to B.

I also run a website that you might have heard of. :wink:

I don't know about writing fantasy novels but have started to write a crime novel - murder down the allotment and have discussed on another messageboard ways to "hide" the body, ranging from lime, shredders, compost, etc! Not sure how far I will get, but I wish your girlfriend the best of luck 8)

Edit: P.S. I used to live in Bristol in the Redfield/Whitehall area with easy access to the old railway line now cycle path.

Hello Andy,

I've met someone who lives in Bristol. Long haired weirdo. Are you going to be one of these people who breezes into a forum, says hello, and then is never heard of again?

BTW, we have a long tradition of bad spelling hear. Yewel kneed to do batter then that.
