G/Day I am Brenda from Australia But originally from Manchester
We came to oz in 1964

We are aged pensioners and i try to preserve what we grow I belong to a couple of forums over here which are about living simply recycling etc

Hi Brenda,
I am also fairly new to this site.
I am originally from Manchester and I live now in Brisbane since 1996
It's a bit warmer here that back in the uk and I love being able to grow things all year round.
Keep up the good work
Sue
