Just a general hello and thanks

Post: # 265048Post Nepenthe »

Hello everyone

I was so pleased to come across this site a couple of weeks ago - It's great to find one place for so many answers to questions about the things I love, but am generally not quite sure how to do - particularly gardening, foraging, and I have very recently launched myself into home brewing (I'm amazed I didn't start doing this before - a combination of foraging, cooking/chemistry and drinking.... what's not to love?! :iconbiggrin: )

I don't know anyone else that does any of this really, except the helpful men in the homebrew shop and plant nursery near us, who are almost certainly tired of my endless questions, (and a couple of friends that I like to think I am slowly strong-arming into it) - so this community is a very welcome find :)

I would like to say thanks for all the questions I have already had answered, and hopefully for any answers to come! Perhaps one day I will be able to help others out too (beware!!) :sunny:

'Ello, 'Ello.. welcome onboard! If you say where you are, I'm sure that will be someone local that can take the pressure off the homebrew shop and the nursery! A good time to start homebrew, the hedgerows are about to bear fruit.

Hi Hannah, and a very warm welcome to you!
I took my dog to play frisbee. She was useless. I think I need a flatter dog.

Hi Nepenthe,

Welcome!

PS If you put your location in your profile, that's helpful. We'll forget, otherwise...

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thanks guys, I have amended (I think) my location as suggested, and had my first question quite thoroughly answered on the homebrew board. Brilliant. Wafting the lovely smells from my brewing cupboard your way :) Xx
