Hello from Shrewsbury

[Ann-Louise]

I have been looking at this web site for a few months and have finally plucked up the courage to introduce my self. I have been interested in the self-sufficent life style for about 30 years(!!) and have done the best I can. Growing fruit and veg etc. I live on a 1980's housing estate and I think I am the only person who actually grows vegetables. It was fantastic finding this web site full of people who think the same way I do.
It is my intention to throw caution to the wind and sell up and move out to the country to carry out what I have always wanted and live the most self sufficient life style I can. (Although in this country it is not possible to be completly self-sufficient, but I can be self-reliant).
I am a vegan, and do not own either a car or a mobile phone, and I am pretty sure I am looked upon as wierd or eccentric and I hope there are other members who are as weird and eccentric as me.
I look forward to hearing from all the weirdos and eccentrics out there.
