Hi there, welcome to the forum.  I'm in a very wet Clackmannan and really should live on a boat not a bungalow beside a burn!  Just ducks, chooks and veg at the mo - plus dogs and a cat.

Hi and welcome - glad you like the site and forums. Both due for a makeover in the new year (not the people, of course).

Where abouts on the west coast are you?

Ooh Rosemary, are you sure? I could do with a makeover!  I know mudpacks are good for the skin, but not sure whether mud mixed with pig or chook poop is as good??!!

Hello and welcome from a very muddy Derbyshire
