Hi Storm.  I live rurally. The outskirts of Dollar in Clacks.  Its near Stirling.   You will see the map on my profile.  I like it here.  We built the house just over 20 years ago and have lived in it since.  We have an acre of land.  Thats about it really.

Hi  :wave:,

      Live near Pocklington, East Riding. Looks like my nearest forum pals are Mick York, Sam. T and Cinderhills.
I'm planning to visit the rare breeds auction at the Yorshire Livestock centre in Oct if any local members are going?

For those further a field, I will be at the poultry show at stoneleigh in Nov if any one wants to say hi. I can wear a red carnation in my buttonhole or perhaps a rose between my teeth for identification( ;))

Happy holding!
