Hello
« on: January 12, 2009, 08:22:24 pm »
Greetings from a wet Staffordshire  :)
I spend my days surrounded by almost 200 sheep, 4 Kunekune pigs, a couple of donks, 1 Shetland pony and a rather mottley bunch of chickens. Oh - mustn't forget the 12 cats  ;D
I am hoping this forum will be as friendly and as useful as another one I used to contribute to...

Hi Val,

I think they've lost the plot... >:(  I have a feeling there may be quite a few new members appearing over here...

Hi and welcome Julie.

Where have you come from (forum wise and geographically)?

12 cats, guess that sorts out any potential rat problem before it could ever arise, doesnt it!! which other forum then is the one to avoid?

Forum wise - River Cottage. This was a BRILLIANT forum - lovely helpful friendly people. Then they changed the format and it all started to go horribly wrong  :'(

Geographically - from Staffordshire, not far from Leek.

My 12 cats are currently USELESS at vermin control but I can make legitimate excuses for most of them...
2 are only babies and haven't experienced the great outdoors yet - the closest they have come to vermin is a grubby sock from the laundry basket :-[ 2 are too old and can't be bothered to move more than 2 feet from the fire, 2 are Sphynxes (no fur) and can't be allowed out for obvious reasons, 1 is deaf and so stays indoors on safety grounds. The other 5 have yet to learn the difference between a field vole (NOT vermin) and a rat (DEFINITELY vermin)....

Hi Neil - lovely part of the world you live in  :) I used to come down that way quite often - there was a sheep breeder who lived in Coleford(?) who I used to regularly visit...

P.S. Heaps of mud here too  :(

Welcome from me too Julie.

I'm in South Yorkshire but spend a lot of my time dashing around the Staffordshire/Derbyshire/Cheshire area.

Hi Diane,

Funnily enough I go to Yorkshire quite a lot... We probably pass each other en route  ;D
