Hello - newbie here (and a bit shy!)

Post: # 172568Post madmumof4 »

Hello

I have been lurking around for a while but have mustered the courage to say hello properly today!
We live in Worcestershire having recently bought an old victorian farmhouse with some land (that needs a lot of work!!)
currently we keep chickens, graze some sheep for a neighbour, make wine from our plums and also jam, chutneys and so on.
Am hoping to meet some new friends here and also learn lots as this is all new to us - I've never made jam before this summer and hubby is picking up the wine making as we go!

also have 4 children under 7 so life is a little hectic at times but lots of fun

Hi 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!
