Title: Good evening everyone!!
Post by: chrisgod on January 19, 2008, 10:41:37 pm

GOOD to be here (I hope?) But looking at just SOME of the posts I think I would not have registered if I thought it was the sort of place one may NOT be made welcome!

Well what about me? Well moved to France just over a year ago, living with my WONDERFUL wife of OH... nearly TWO whole years!! (28th Jan!) And her Mum who has Altzheimers and several "Critters!" Namely around 20 assorted Chucks! 3 Muscovies and a Mallard Drake. Twenty or so rabbits and a cat!! THEN of course there are the chicks!! Well they are hatching at present so anywhere between a dozen and twenty!! More hatching every hour! The hens are a mix of Light Sussex and OTHERS!! And basically I moved here after a rather MESSY divorce a couple of years ago and a nasty road accident which left me nursing a duff back!!

BUT that was ALL made worthwhile when I met and eventually married the FIRST love of my life!! I fell in love with Andrea over 30 years ago, she dissapeared,(Her brother said it was deliberate! Turned out she went into Hospital with a burst appendix and convalesced at a relatives!!)we met again on the internet dating site LOOPY LOVE and the rest as they say is HISTORY!!! She is at present AGAIN in Hospital so just hoping she doesn't move away again? :lol:
