Hi from New Zealand

Post: # 62044Post shae »

Hello,
I've just discovered your fab forum. I'm a mum (and wife) of 2 kiddies and living just outside Cambridge (NZ) in a run down old house in the middle of a dairy farm. We moved out of the city for a quieter pace of life in which to bring up our wee ones. We are just really evaluating our level of consumerism and looking to make some positive changes. We have 4 hens 2 sheep (hopefully in lamb) and neglected veg garden and are cloth nappy users. Anyway looking forward to making the most of all the valueable advice.

Hi Shae. Welcome from the Mainland.

We also left city life and live in an old house surrounded by a dairy farm in North Canterbury.

Welcome to the site! it seems strange reading names for places over here over there (does that make sense?) Cambridge, Canterbury kinda wierd! maybe we could do 'twinning' of Ssishers like they do towns! quite apt when you consider our forums glorious creators!

I digress, Welcome to the site
Kind thoughts
