Just realised I should have done this earlier, found this forum by accident (looking for a tractor) seems very friendly and helpful

Hi and welcome from Carnoustie

Where abouts are you based?

[Coley]

The Morpeth area, though our land is 6 miles away at a place called Hebron

Hi welcome to one of the friendliest and in my humble opinion best sites ever.

Hiya & a belated welcome from West Scotland 

[SallyintNorth]

Hello from just over the border in Cumbria - though sadly the border furthest from Morpeth!  Even so, maybe just maybe there will be enough of us in these parts to start something...?

[Coley]

Seems to be a definite North (Scotland) South (Somerset, Devon) divide on here

And 'tis Devon and Scotland which seem to have the most active smallholder associations...

[Coley]

Surprising though, that the North should be so poorly represented given the rural nature of the place

Not something to do with the self-reliance of the northern folk?

Hi Coley,

I am in Aberdeenshire but originally from Rothbury so just a stones throw from you. Went to School in Morpeth many years ago. 

[Coley]

Rothbury, lovely place, gateway to the best national park in the country though I live in the Morpeth area we are from the Guidepost/ Choppington area originally

[Coley]

Not sure, but anyone running a smallholding must have a 'self reliant' bent, mebbes we are just a surly bunch
