Title: Hello from the Isle of Wight.
Post by: Martin H on March 04, 2013, 09:13:39 pm

Hi all. Quick intro. As my user name suggests my name is Martin  :wave:
From the warm and sunny Isle of Wight where my partner and I have a 9 acre plot which at the moment is given over to our three horses. Long story short, we intend to turn it into a smallholding with a reasonable degree of self sufficiency  So hope to be around here for quite a while and will no doubt have a host of questions  :)

He was Duncan Pryde, he has a few Inuit offspring,   Anyway, Welcome from me in Clackmannan
