Well, I guess it's time to introduce ourselves,
been lurking on here for a few weeks now whilst we got confirmation that our move was definitley going to happen.
My name is Mike (you probably guessed that by my user name
), my wife is Paula, and we have three terrors, I mean children, aged 8,9 &12.
We're moving at the end of the month to an old farmhouse in North Wales (Denbighshire), it has large gardens and loads of outbuildings, and we intend to keep some chickens and perhaps (probably next year) a couple of pigs. We're going to try and grow our own veg. The house is a bit of a mess at the moment, but I'm sure it will tidy up, just as soon as the veggies are planted and the chickens settled
.
As you can probably guess, we're VERY excited, time is dragging, the sun is shining, I need to get the spuds in and we're fed up of buying eggs from the supermarket!.
No doubt I(we), will be making a few posts asking for advice, this is all new to us and apart from growing a few veg a number of years ago, we have no experience whatsoever, really looking forward to the hard work and satisfaction It seems lots of you get, (from reading your posts).
I go self employed at the end of the month, which will hopefully give me more time to get things going on the 'farm', although I have no doubt money is going to be tight!.
Well, that's all for now, hope to get to know a few of you along the way, and we'll keep you posted on the move and development of the garden and livestock.
Thanks for reading,
Mike.
