Hi and welcome from cold, and now disgustingly wet Worcestershire.  Definitely a day for lighting the fire and keeping all the animals/birds undercover  :raining:

Hello and welcome from Durham  :wave: two allotments with a couple of hens, fruit and veg. We are also looking for somewhere with land but it's not an easy task  :-\  Good luck with your plans.

Indeed born and breed South African. I've got pretty acclimatised and am actually loving that we get seasons here (not just hot or rainy)!

My particular interest is animals (I just can't seem to raise the same enthusiasm for veggies). So far have thought about the traditional Hereford (it's such a beautiful animal), either the saddleback or big black for pigs and am thinking about Portland, Norfolk horn or Dorset horn for sheep. I had really like the castlemilk motorist but heard it was a bit flighty, especially around dogs.

The sooner we can find some land the better!
