Hi from Preston, Lancs, 2 inspired girlies

Post: # 133987Post romie »

Hi
I've just found this site it seems exactely what we are looking for
We are Rosie and Julie neighbours living near Preston
After years of us both secretly wanting to take small self sufficiency steps, we've realsied we have the same ideas and we're are starting...
We have nil money but one small garden so it'll be a challenge, we've started scavenging (kind of) and are planning a veg garden, chickens, eating seasonally and sourcing our meat carefully
So 'HI'
We're gonna need a lot of help
Looking forward to fun, mud, disasters, gluts and friendship
