Hello from Orkney

Post: # 26005Post The Orkney BeeGee »

Hello from Orkney.

Excellent website.

We grow veg and make wine.

We eat veg and drink wine.

We make wine out of veg.

Due to prevailing and almost permanent westerly gales, much of our veg is quite short in stature but we get away with it.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I am the male BeeGee. My wife is the female one - it seems to work that way round...

Welcome to the site BeeGee,
I hope you like it here! I've been reading your wine post, and I think red clover sounds bootiful (just need to wait for a spare demijohn!)

Hello and welcome - certainly spied a lot of red clover and it is looking healthier than the nettles at the moment so it might be a better option for my next home brew. cheers for posting it and welcome to the forum.
