Hello from Yorkshire

Post: # 61311Post Meredith »

I've been browsing these forums for ages and getting useful information and now I think it's time to get involved.

I grow as much of my own produce as I can, I keep chickens and three ducks and am just about to get my first nucleus of bees. I do a disproportionate amount of shopping to call myself self sufficient but we all have to have a dream to aspire to. Mine is to get a goat.

I look forward to talking to others with similar interests to mine. I find that most people's eyes glaze over when I enthuse about such things.

Meredith.

Welcome Meredith! I, too, find it difficult to rationalise my yearn to shop with my yearn to be self-sufficient ... in the end I have found it is best to just ignore the contradiction. :wink:
