Oh, [member=220990]Bumpkin[/member] , a belated welcome to the forum. (Sometimes new folk simply get missed - never intentionally ignored !)  Where in the South West are you ?

Hello and welcome from the south of Scotland.  I can still remember the unbelievable excitement when we moved to our few acres over 1/4 of a century ago.  Don't try to take on too much from the beginning, take a whole year to learn about your land and its weather, with just a few animals at first then increase numbers as your knowledge increases.  Also start any growing enterprise with a smallish area and build up.  We did it all wrong, starting when our neighbour got carried away and ploughed a whole acre for our veggie bed  :tired: .  It just filled with creeping thistle, couch and nettles  :roflanim:  and we've never got rid of them.  So learn by our mistakes - we've all made them - rather than having to make your own  :sunshine:

So [member=220990]Bumpkin[/member];  I'm hoping you will soon forgive us for our tardy welcome to the forum.  You're taking a holiday/busy perhaps, but looking forward to hearing from you on your return/as soon as you get a moment.
