New from Northampton!

Post: # 30038Post funkypixie »

Hello!

Just dropped in to say Hi and thanks for an excellent website. I try to do my bit to be selfsufficientish, cycling when I can, recycling, collecting blackberries for jam! I'm sure I can do more though...

I'm married with 2 boys (Gabriel - 5 and Xander - 3), work at our local hospital and generally keep very busy.

Hi to Dave & Andy too - it's been a long time...

Hello there Anna, which Anna is this? I left Northampton in 1999 and I think I knew about 5 Annas at that point!

Anyway welcome to the forum and look forward to working out which Anna :lol:

Hi Chickpea - they started about a week ago but the majority have still to ripen.

Hi, I am another ex-Northampton person. My parents still live down there as do some of my friends, so I go down quite a lot, but now live in Derbyshire.

Welcome to SSish :cheers:
