Hello from the Welsh borders

Post: # 165256Post JoanneRoach »

Hi I'm Joanne and I have had my eye on this site for ages (it's brill) but have only just got round to joining, very slack.

I live in a village with my family and we grow as much as we can in a long but normal garden. We did rent a field but the farmer sold it. (BOO)

I also run a children's project which aims to help kids under 8 get hands on with cooking and gardening so if anyone sees any good projects for kids, big and small, I am all ears!

Just looking forward to moseying around learning some stuff on here and hopefully saying something useful eventually!

So hello all!
Joanne

Hi Susie, yes we're about 6 miles from Ludlow. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for the nice welcome! Very quick off the mark!
My husband is in mid-Wales somewhere as we speak (I lose track) assessing a DofE expedition.
Nice to meet you.
Joanne
