Hi I'm New

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

Hi, I’m Alison, I’ve been lurking on the cs forum for quite a while, I went away on holiday and when I came back many of the names I had got used to seeing had disappeared. Not one to give up easily I have now found you all here. I didn’t think I could post much before, being a wanabe, but as of next week We will be moving to our own holding.

We are moving to North Devon, England. The farm has 30 acres, with agri tourism, storing caravans, caravan and camping (very limited), and pasture.

At the moment there is farm gate sales of eggs from the 50 chickens and three ducks. Nothing has been done to the pasture for three years.

I can’t wait to move now. We are going with my mum and dad. We being my husband and three children 5,3,9m

I feel I know you all really well, and hope a Brit can stay.

Many thanks

Alison

Alison -

Hello to a fellow wannabe!!! I've been there, and now am in the process of (VERY) impatiently going back - there just ain't no life like one on the old homestead!!

Glad you found us!!
