Just realised that I didn't say Hi to you all in this forum when I joined all those months back. Having enjoyed dipping into the livestock forum from time to time have finally got around to posting myself.
A little about me - I am a busy SAHM to two boys, currently 2 and a half and 10 months old. We live in rural suffolk with a sufficient, although not huge, amount of land. We have a couple of young bantam light sussexes which free range around the garden mostly (kept locked up in the ark at the moment with the latest Bird Flu crisis just up the road...). We love our garden and when time/energy allows we grow our own veg. We also pickle the walnuts from our gorgeous old tree and have been known to bottle our gooseberries and turn the elderflowers into cordial. Not really self-sufficient, but certainly in love with the land!
I love this site and am sure will find it becomes a real friend as our boys get older and I get more time to do more outdoor growing & nurturing!

belated Hello
Hello and Welcome from Canada.
We have 1 acre, a large garden, 10 Rhode Island Red Hens and 7 Silver Duckwing Bantams.
Also a small horse, a donkey and 2 cats.
We freeze most of our produce at the moment and are looking ahead to doing canning,dehydrating and wine-making.

Hi Helen
I love Suffolk and one day see myself in a lovely little cottage with a huge garden there. I am in North Essex now, and gradually creeping my way over the border.
Welcome to SS.
