Quick message to say hello.

Currently living in Hawkhurst, Kent but relocating to Caithness, Scotland were will be attempting to be as self sufficient as possible.

We are building a new house and will be rainwater recycling, using solar hot water, wind turbines and growing all our own vegetables.

This forum will be really useful for novices like us. :?

I was trying to find a username that hadn't been used on ebay. We have two whippets and most of the time I am confused, hence the name.

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome.
The postman arrived today and we have got planning permission. The real fun is just about to begin.
Accept my apologies now there could be quite a few posts looking for help.
