new people say hello

Post: # 179817Post madabouthens »

Hi people, I have been "lurking" for some time and I find most ishers are not normal...so I thought...my kind of people !
So I would like to say a big "hiya" to all :wave:
We have been keeping chickens for about 30 years or so, a garden that is always a mess (there is always next year :icon_smile: )
Our pride and joy is a new polytunnel, which takes up most of our small back garden.
We are blessed with plenty of the wet stuff, OH says we are over blessed; so we do not need to conserve water, maybe we should open a fish farm ( permaculture:turning a problem into the solution). Tony

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
