Hello from Derbyshire

[Badger Bob]

Hello folks, just found this site and it is pretty amazing. My self-sufficient-ish credentials are pretty slim at the moment but I'm hoping to learn more. I refuse to drive, I'm fat enough despite walking and cycling most places, if I sat behind the wheel of a car I would look like comic-book guy in no time. I also love to forage, especially autumn fruit for wines and crumbles. Since my father "owns" the garden I have no say in ripping up his precious flower beds but I do like to grow herbs in containers and I am thinking of branching out into dwarf veggies.

I am also waiting for the family to go on holiday to sneak some bantams in, I used to keep Wyandottes and Oxford English Games and I still miss having a "real" egg for breakfast. In green terms I am still apple-white but hoping to learn and implement over the next few years.

Cheers me ducks!

Ay up duck
I was born and bred in Derbyshire (Chesterfield) - Whereabouts are you (it's OK I won't visit)?

Hi

[Badger Bob]

Cheers folks!

Green Aura - I was born in Belper and I have lived within 10 miles ever since (apart from living in Sheffield as a sudent). I tend to pine if I get too far away from the Derwent

What a small world - I've spent many happy hours at the Queen's Head on Chesterfield Road.
