Hello, hello!

Post: # 57372Post Barefootandhappy »

Hello there! Thought I'd better amble over and say hi! I'm a 35 year old, ever so slightly nutty pagan from the Shetland Isles. I live with my partner and my two gorgeous kids. :mrgreen:
I am a member of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth Scotland, Viva and Peta. I campaign actively on numerous animal rights and ecological issues.
I love growing my own veggies and herbs. Want chooks, but don't have the room at present. *sighs* One day...
I love reading, rock music and long walks with my family. I am a really arty person. I love pyrography, making my own cards and gifts, cross stictching and knitting.
Well, now I have bored you all to tears, I'm off for a nosy around! Looking forward to getting to know you all. :dave:

If you want to be happy for a day, buy a car. If you want to be happy for a weekend, get married. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, be a gardener.

:toothy7: :lol: Indeed! I've just always been happier having nothing on my feet, and the nickname kind of stuck.

I'm hoping to. I need to organise time off work, ferry tickets, train tickets etc, etc, but I'm hoping I can get there. :flower:

Ah, FOE not a member but I have raised money for them and support their actions. It is certainly my favorite charity.

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

Welcome, not long joined myself, but great place.

If you like barefoot - come to NZ everyone walked round barefoot at times, even in the shopping malls and no one thinks it is odd
