Hello from the Isle of Wight.
« on: March 04, 2013, 09:13:39 pm »
Hi all. Quick intro. As my user name suggests my name is Martin  :wave:
From the warm and sunny Isle of Wight where my partner and I have a 9 acre plot which at the moment is given over to our three horses. Long story short, we intend to turn it into a smallholding with a reasonable degree of self sufficiency  So hope to be around here for quite a while and will no doubt have a host of questions  :)

 :wave: , I am sure you are he first from the Isle of white? welcome, not really a smallholder just keep a very few hens, but, I love country, outdoor life,  I had a relation on the Isle of White, he kept the ship shop :roflanim: , sorry, my spelling, anyway, he died in he 80 's, although I think the shop still has he name "Pryde of Cowes"  ?' He was Duncan Pryde, he has a few Inuit offspring,   Anyway, Welcome from me in Clackmannan
