It's a long time since I posted here. The last time I was living in Ireland and planning to move back to the UK. Well, we have finally moved, well twice actually. Moved back to a village outside Matlock in Derbyshire in December 2013 and moved again to a house with a bigger garden in November just gone. What with resettling two student sons, 2 dogs and a wife, starting a new job, changing jobs and all that, it's been busy. Now I'm sort of ready to restart the gardening as we will NEVER move again!
I used to be so busy in Ireland making beer, wine, growing veg & fruit, cooking, collecting wood for the range and it all trailed off in the last year and a half but I'm raring to go at it all again. In fact i cleared a patch in the garden of weeds today now the snow has more-or-less gone and the sun was shining.
I've a lot to catch up on and new posters to meet but it's great to be back, both on ish and in the UK.
I don't think we will be so lucky, our house is now worth about 2' 6d so we are here for life.
