Happy New Year to you all.

Treated myself to a laptop, mobile broadband with a dongle - and hey presto,here I am!
Not sure how good the connection will be though, but we will see.

I am still in the caravan four months on, nothing changed.  Off to feed the Animals now will dio an update tonight when more time

hey you!
hello and welcome back!
hope all is well (and you managed to keep the caravan warm enough through the snow?)

got your christmas pressies here waiting - they are eating us out of house and home....  will post some pics so you can chose!

Update as promised.
Will keep it brief, so as not to bore you, and also, in case my connection goes mid post!

Still in caravan, so frustrating,as farm is empty, and not even up for sale - my brother seems to be dragging his feet for whatever reason.

Gas and water been frozen most days due to low temps, and lots of snow.  Got mains hook up, so leccy heater which helps.,

Had the most dreadful cough for three weeks, which has slowed me up, and behind with everything.

Cold weather killed 6 of my hens and my gorgeous cockerel, which I am gutted about/.  Plus remaining AN goat, Abel due to the cold I think.

Other goats ok, but kidding going to be later - kids were here this time last year.  There again, no bad thing with this cold weather.
Mobile phone took a funny turn some weeks ago, deleted names left me just numbers - been getting texts wishing me  Happy xmAS, and if there was no name I had no idea who it was from!!  So that was a headache.

Hiya!  Ain't mobile broadband marvellous?  When we moved into our place, the satellite BB was still active for a couple of weeks, but it was painfully slow. Like you, I went out and bought a dongle, and am now getting 1.5 to 2 meg/sec, AND it's way cheaper!  Just as well we had it really, as we got snowed in for a week before Christmas, and Mrs Womble used it to work from home. BT are going to re-connect the landline, but they've quoted a 6 week leadtime on the order, and in any case they reckon we're too near to the end of the pipe to get proper broadband!

Sorry to hear about your birds and freezes - keep hanging in there, as I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end!

When I was young and the gas froze we'd heat the cylinder with a blowlamp.  Worked a treat but probably heavily frowned on!

Hi Roxy nice to see you back girly
