 :D Hi everyone x
Im danielle, was pondering the internet for some saddlebacks and fell up on this website, so decided to join up! I live in a small village called Stape Nr Pickering, North Yorks. Ive got 2 gorgeous children, 2 horses, 2 ponies, lots of chickens, guinea pigs, 3 terriers and my new veggie patch (which im extremely proud and protective of! lol), and am desperate to add to with some saddlebacks! :pig: And maybe stretch to sheep next year? ;D

It sounds lovely, but I bet it's a lot of work. have a look on farming friends web site. she is from near york and has saddlebacks. there is also the north yorkshore smallholders to consider, they have quite a network for swapping info etc. good luck

And welcome from Alloa.

I went to Pickering on holiday once - I thought it was the nicest place. One of the few places that I've ever thought "I could llive here".

Hello, Good Evening, and Welcome, as David Frost used to say on 'The Frost Report'. You're probably too young to remember it, but I guess I'm turning into an old Fogey - or my partner would say I've already turned..!  ::)

You sound like a glutton for punishment with all those to look after. For most people, the kids are more than enough, and I don't mean goats! :goat: I've been to Pickering a  number of times over many years, mostly 'in a former life' (i.e. before joining TAS ;D), and like the area immensely. But I know from experience how easy it is for people to say, "It's a lovely area; it must be lovely to live there!" Truth is, hard work's hard work wherever it is, and when you're working all hours it's hard to take in the scenic splendour! But I still think it's lovely....
Welcome, and I hope you find TAS fun as well as useful. And if you ask for help or advice, chances are someone will offer something. Kindred spirits are like that....

All the best

John

You dropping your letters again?  Got 'dropsy' lol
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Hello and welcome from a windy Derbyshire - I got hit by a flying gazebo today at the school summer fair!  I managed to catch it before it knocked over all the kids queueing at the sweetie table!!
