Title: Hello from Suffolk
Post by: Badger on May 02, 2010, 09:58:00 am

Hello everybody, we are a 50 something couple shortly moving from urban Essex to rural Suffolk. We have brought a small cottage with just a half acre, and we can't wait to move in. We would like to have a go at growing some veg, with maybe a small polytunnel. We would also like to have a few chickens. There is a small orchard, so we would also like to try and make some cider maybe!. I am sure other ideas will come up once we are living there. We are hoping the forum will be very useful for helping gain knowledge of the rural life. :wave:

Hello and welcome from Fife, good luck with the move and remember a "few chickens" is never enough they become addictive.

Hello and welcome from me in South Lanarkshire  :wave:
I think you'll find chickens very rewarding - I've only had mine a wee while but really enjoy them, I didn't think they'd be so full of character  ;D
But be warned - the longer you spend on the forum the more land you're going to need/want cos the ideas are endless !  ;)
Look forward to hearing more from you
