Hello everybody,

I tripped over this site last year and have been hooked ever since, thought it was about time I registered.
Last year, hubby and I bought an uninhabitable cottage bang in the middle of four acres. Since then, we've been through the planning/ecological/architects/builders mill and been waiting to finally sell our house to release funds for renovation/extension. Despite a number of false starts, we should be moving into the 'van next week (although I won't be holding my breath!)
I've always dreamed of being a farmer - my granny was a farmer, and, even though it's only four acres, it's going to be our little slice of heaven We already have two horses and two dogs, but are very much looking forward to planting an orchard, vegetable garden and 'growing' some chickens

Thank you everyone! Still tearing my hair out after not exchanging yesterday - seems the guy at the bottom of the chain needs a rocket. Suspect that after all the grief we've had, the actual building bit will be a breeze (ever the optimist!)
I'll put a couple of pics up when I work out how to do it

Thanks for the welcome! We finally exchanged on Thursday and consequently spent friday with monumental hangovers We move into the 'van on Friday. Best have a bath while I still can...
As soon as the rain stops threatening, it's warfare on the weeds which have reached about 10ft high. Can't wait!
