Hello,
My name is Elaine and I live in the North East of Scotland about 25 miles from Elgin and 6 miles or so from the Moray Firth. We moved here 2 years ago and renovated an old farmhouse. We have around 1 acre of land which is surrounded by a working farm. This year we have concentrated on the garden. At present I have a large vege plot growing a variety of vegetables as organic as possible and trying very hard to keep the rabbits. We aim to get around a dozen hens in the next few weeks, the land needs to be cleared first and the hen house built for them and fenced in.
I live here with my husband Stuart and our 2 labradors, Tia & Barney. We both work, though I only work part time as most of my time is spent out in the garden trying to keep the weeds down and grow my veg, which includes my tomatoes in the green house. The land has not been used for 10 years or so so you can imagine how the weeds etc are. I used to have nice clean hands and manicured nails when working in an office as a PA but not any more, they seem to be permantly dirt stained now.
Elaine
