A sunny hello from Scotland!!! anyone else around here?

We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.

:lol: You're not the only one! And thank you...

Your garden looks amazing - very jealous. I'm hoping to get one started this year but still trying to find a piece of land...

Great to see there are so many from Scotland. I started my journey towards self-sufficiency 2 years ago now on a croft just north of Oban. My daughter has very kindly made me a website http://www.adrianscroft.co.uk
I've had a quick look at your website as I was very interested to read about you homemade polytunnel - couldn't findpictures...? not great with computers though, so may be wasn't looking in the right place!

I have never understood how you can be in mid-argyle :? Argyle is all over the flippin' place (mostly, up and down and up and down and up again)

We're not long back from a 3 day camping trip to just outside Campbelltown, 40 miles from our house (as the crow flies) .... took us 4.5 hours to get home :shaking2:

Hi!

We're in Fife.... It has rained often!! But it's always a nice surprise when the sun breaks through..before the clouds pass over again!! :flower:

Anyway... Scotland looks better with a few clouds hovering around.... more atmospheric and all that!! :toothy4:
