anyone in nottinghamshire /mansfield area out there????
« on: June 18, 2011, 05:38:44 pm »
hi,i keep a small amount of livestock in blidworth and was wondering if there were any local peeps who fancied getting together at each others fields/smallholds once a month or so taking it in turns,to chat,maybe BBQ (weather permitting) or even better,meet in a local pub and share stories and experiences with people who have stuff in common?? just a thought, i dont mind organizing once a month as i know we're all busy...!! ;)
but would be nice to meet like minded couples or singles of any age...im married,no kids and 28,hubby 38 and we have pigs,lambs,goats,ponies and poultry! ;D ;D

anyone for it??????????? ??? ???

you're about 45-60 minutes from us,
sounds a great idea

I'll warn you, I'm notoriously unreliable at going to other peoples' places, but I am happy to host, if you dont mind a bit of a mess!

you & your husband are a year younger than me & mine, and we dont have lambs or ponies!!

Helloooo!  :wave:

I'm near Clumber Park. I have 10 goats at the moment and a horse out on permament loan  :( We had a few disagreements and decided it was for the best..

I would LOVE to meet up, two heads are better than one and all that!

Just let me know. I can't host as the farm I keep the goats on isn't mine but there are plenty of pubs!
