Just wanted to say a quick hello to you all.

We're looking to grab a piece of land in Ireland once we sell our home in Hull.

The plan is to have a wee bit o livestock but to mainly focus on the permaculture/foodforest kinda thing.

This seems like the right place to be when I'm finding my enthusiasm outweighs my knowledge!

 :)

Hi Possum (not a bad name yerself - big smile on my mush!)

We're pretty unrestricted with regard to area, need to consider my 12 yr old Daughter tho.

Searches seem to have centred around Limerick and Cork

I don't know Limerick well but County Cork always seems to have better weather than the rest of southern Ireland. West Cork is a a very good growing area. Warm and sheltered from the westerly storms.
