Hi my name is Jo and I moved from Nottingham five years ago to Suffolk to slow down and enjoy "the good life" I'm 37 and couldn't afford a small holding but bought a comfortable park home with a fairly sizeable garden around it. My plan was to be as self sufficient in vegetables as I could and maybe I could one day afford my dream. I make most things myself, bread, jams, wines, I will basically have a go at anything (but Im not promising it will turn out ok

) Due to having to work full time the past four years i have been playing at the self sufficiency but I am hoping to reduce my hours soon and get on with what i came here to do. Any advice will be very welcome and muchly appreciated as everyone I know thinks I am mad and its nice to see I'm not the only one who has felt this way for a while now.

Thankyou x
