Hello from north oxfordshire

Post: # 197121Post Rick&Carol »

Hi - we are Rick & Carol, located in a small village in North Oxfordshire but hoping to relocate to West Wales over the next year or so where we will buy a smallholding. We have chickens, two collies, an empty bee hive which we'll populate after the move, a landrover and a morris minor traveller. We forage, grow, and cook creatively. :wave: We were river cottage members but got fed up with the complexity of the site (still big HFW fans) - like Jamie and Jimmy Doherty too.

we are overthegate members where we post reguarly under the same name.

Just had nettle soup for tea and got a bunch of dandelion roots roasting in theoven as i type this for DR coffee which i found the recipe for on this very site today.

Hi Guys

Welcome to the site. Looking forward to getting to know you both. Your tea sounds delicious. Hope the 'coffee' does well - I must give that a try but not sure that the OH would even try it.
