We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.
Thank you all for your friendly welcome. I've been off in the wilds of Derbyshire with no internet access for a week, which is why I haven't replied. I'm afraid I'm not Richard Hammond (in fact, I can't actually drive) but I'm glad my nickname has caused such amusement!
