hi from county durham

Post: # 244640Post BEEKERRY1 »

Hello there :wave:

my names Kerry and together with my husband Rob we seem to enjoy the same things as you guys on here, so I thought we'd join you, well, Robs a bit of a technophobe so it'll be mainly me!

We have an allotment in our village, which we have moderate success with, we have a bee hive, full of bees, on the allotment and some ferrets which Rob sometimes works, when time permits. And we have 5 dogs.... too many but what can you do.

We like wandering around the locality picking wild fruits to make jam, chutney and wines with, we were out on saturdaym got some hazel nuts, elderberries, a few blackberries, rose hips and some crab apples. Really need some more blackberries and elderberries but they're either not out yet or we missed them.

Anyway thats a bit about us, looking forward to picing up some tips and maybe giving some out, but I wouldn't be holding my breath for us knowing anything....

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!
