Hello frae Sunny East Lothian

Thurston Garden · Tue May 29, 2007 11:00 am

I have been lurking for a wee while now and thought it was time to register! I exchange comments with Stonehead and Dibnah via our blogs and heard of here via these two!

We have a very small smallholding/market garden in East Lothian. 3000sqft polytunnel, 2 acres, 28 hens (mostly black rocks) currently without pigs :-( but still have a freezer full of pork :-) Hatching some Sasso's to break the pork monotony....

Looking forward to getting involved here!

Hello there and welcome. Stoney and Dibnah have contributed a lot to this forum so good to see that you have come via them.

Hiya, TG, and welcome to SSish!

Oooh, two neg comments about ma avatar.....it's deleted, but my Landy pic is too big so will hav to work on a new one.

As a regular on a Landy forum, such avatars are expected, but there must be a more genteel gathering on here I will have to watch my p's n q's!

TG,

from down under. I noticed that your location is Sunny Dunny. A dunny here & OZ is a long drop toilet. Or do you have one and sit in the sun and contemplate life?

I had the same thoughts! I was imagining an open air dunny in Scotland.

Welcome to the forum TG!

Neither do we have an open air lav (apart from the compost heap/pee heap!), nor are we in Dundee - Sunny Dunbar, the sunniest place in Scotland and birth place of John Muir. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir

It's no been sunny the day though!!!

Unfortunately, I think of an open-air toilet as well.

Welcome, make yourself at home, a great bunch around these parts.
