Hi from a couple of clowns in Sydney Australia

Post: # 53594Post kaznzak »

Hello,
what a wonderful site! We are Karen and Paul, currently living and working in Sydney Australia. Previously we have had a small organic farm breeding old fashioned breeds of poultry and pigs, raising herbs and veges and dairy goats and were largely self sufficient in the past. Currently we live in the city but grow our own veges, make our own bread and yoghurt etc. We both work in community type roles, and also work as clowns and magicians. I am also a face and body painter. We have three dogs but no chooks at the moment :( and are not likely to have any in the near future. I am undertaking a permaculture design course by correspondence and have just started - I am looking forward to getting into it some more and revisiting some the the permaculture principals we employed up on the farm. A special hello to those on here who write/wrote for grassroots or earth garden :cheers:
Kaz

Hi to you both. Welcome to the forum. It's great to see that Nev and Boots have some more support. They need it.
