Hello from Herefordshire

Post: # 187838Post Cobnut »

Been lurking on and off for a while now and finally got round to registering! I’m interested in anything that helps me become more independent, plus I like loads of old skills, some of which I do, eg spinning wool, and some which I’d love to try, eg greenwood crafts, horse logging. My aim is to stick 2 fingers up at the “norm”, sell the house and go live in a caravan...yay! :flower:

Beth.

Hi cobnut and welcome to Ish :wave:

I have to admit to being very worried about your interest in horse flogging - then I read it properly :lol:

Hello Beth :wave:
Hope it'll be a big caravan, will need lots of storage for all the stuff you'll make :iconbiggrin:

Hi there 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!

It won’t be for a while yet unfortunately; got to do the sensible thing and finish my degree first, which also gives me time to research my options. I’ve got my eye on one of these at the mo (but as plain as possible externally I think)...
