Title: Hello from Caterham on the Hill
Post by: unicornleather on January 14, 2015, 09:10:52 pm

Hello,
I live in Surrey, used to live on a farm way back when, a country boy at heart still.
I had a large allotment until recently, used to grow a good deal of my fruit and veg.
I keep a few hens still here where I live and have numerous fruit trees and bushes as well as growing veg each year .
I'm limited for space these days.

I used to live on a farm in Langshott Lane in Horley, worked in the Chequers too for a short while. Know this area and yours quite well as I have had customers all round these areas over the years, small world isn't it!

Thanks both of you above for the welcome, Oz

We used to live in Sanderstead before we moved down here. Very good soil and growing conditions. In fact, the soil was better than the clay that we are still struggling with on our smallholding. Welcome to TAS :wave:

I've moved!
Now on a 2 acre smallholding in West Wales in the middle of nowhere, so different from Caterham on the Hill!
