Hello everybody

Post: # 95565Post mrs slocombe »

Just a few lines to introduce myself.

I'm a hard-working, stressed subpostmaster in the North east of England.
Having said that I do enjoy my job even though things are a bit uncertain at the moment.

For a while now I've been really interested in recycling and the effects on the enviroment. I'm also wanting to cut down my own carbon footprint and do my bit. I hate waste of any kind, money, time resources and my particluar pet hate is the wasting of food.

To this end, I'm going to have a go at growing my own stuff and hopefully give less to the profits of the supermarkets. My dad used to grow all our veg in my younger days and had quite a full greenhouses full of the old yogurt pot plant army growing flowers and veg.

So i'm having a bash at it, so if you'll excuse me I have some studying to do....

Thanks.
