Hello and my name says it all
« on: June 05, 2013, 04:04:22 pm »
We are moving to a smallholding in Herefordshire next week over on the Welsh border near Kington. Very excited but very aware that we have a lot to learn and possibly slightly older than most. Is there anyone around that area as it would be nice to get to know others with the same interests.

Hi and welcome from Carmarthenshire  :wave:
We moved here last year and have 2.5 acres, a few sheep, 2 pigs, 2 geese and some chickens all of which are completely new to us. We aren't exactly spring chickens ourselves but its a great experience
Life is like a bowl of cherries, mostly yummy but some dodgy bits

Hello newtoitall

welcome to TAS. I'm in Worcestershire so if you ever fancy a trip over the border you'd be welcome here!  There are a couple of members from Herefordshire.

Hello from Bala N Wales, I still feel new to it all after 2 years!!  Enjoy, and we (and 'the elders' as I like to think of the more experienced ones on here) will be here for any questions!  I couldn't have mangaged without them!

 :wave: and welcome from Shropshire. There are a lot of us on here who are no longer spring chickens, so unless you are over 70 you are in with your age group. there may even be a few seventy somethings that I don't know about.

Thank you for all the welcoming messages. We are just short of our bus passes so it sounds as if we are not alone. I am sure once we have actually moved the questions will start coming.
