Title: Hi from Kelso
Post by: edandfred on May 04, 2013, 12:58:05 pm

hi everyone,

Fascinating site with great inspiration from so many!

We are near Kelso and have a five acre field next to the house which presently houses the local mole population, a fine crop of ragwort and little else.  Seriously considering puting it to better use with a few sheep,hens and a couple of pigs eventually.  Veg plot and orchard already earmarked.
We are still at the planning stage ( or more accurately the blissfully ignorant stage) but are faced with the same quandry of so many of whether to carry on with full time jobs  and a steady income or just saying 'sod it'  and do what we really want.

Whatever we decide, it will definitely involve a tractor.

Look forward to following everyones progress out there
