Title: Hello and my name says it all
Post by: newtoitall on June 05, 2013, 04:04:22 pm: We are moving to a smallholding in Herefordshire next week over on the Welsh border near Kington. Very excited but very aware that we have a lot to learn and possibly slightly older than most. Is there anyone around that area as it would be nice to get to know others with the same interests.

We moved here last year and have 2.5 acres, a few sheep, 2 pigs, 2 geese and some chickens all of which are completely new to us. We aren't exactly spring chickens ourselves but its a great experience

welcome to TAS. I'm in Worcestershire so if you ever fancy a trip over the border you'd be welcome here! There are a couple of members from Herefordshire.

Post by: Lesley Silvester on June 05, 2013, 10:03:54 pm: :wave: and welcome from Shropshire. There are a lot of us on here who are no longer spring chickens, so unless you are over 70 you are in with your age group. there may even be a few seventy somethings that I don't know about.
