Just saying hello...

Post: # 55942Post Devonbunny »

Hi everyone, I've just joined and thought I should say hello.

I'm Jules, married, with 4 children. I'm really interested in the self-sufficient lifestyle, but haven't actually done anything about it yet. We are on the waiting list for a local allotment, but that is about as good as it gets. I'm hoping that by joining here, you wonderful lot will fill me with inspiration and ideas.

My children are aged 11, 9, 5, and nearly 2. We home-educate them so they don't go to school. We have done for 4 years now and I don't see it changing any time soon.

I really look forward to getting to know everyone and learning a great deal I'm sure.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Love Jules x

There are a few home educators and a few people still on allotment waiting lists around. I hope you like it here and welcome.

Hi Jules, and welcome!

Before you get your allotment, you can always start by growing things in containers... A lot of us have done so, myself included!

Well nev, the Soil is so red some places in Devon, when it rains it looks like the roads are bleeding! I have a feeling that the Devonian period is actually named after Devon, but I could be wrong...anyway sorry to go off at a tangent I'm afraid it often happens! Welcome to the site DevonBunny,

Kind thoughts
