ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Hellooo from down south:D
Alas no more goats - feed got too expensive. Down to chickens ducks and geese now. Aiming for a good year on the home grown front now as we are almost vegetarian now and don't eat a lot of meat.
How is the willow hedge coming along? :cool:
Keep up the good work. Thanks for the links - off for a browse....

Well we ended up with 6ha of it in the end, the verdict was that it grew but smaller than down south cos of the wind.
That great explination took me 4 years of my life and considerable red/white/rose wine :rotfl::rotfl:
Moved to coastal central mainland now, chickens, dogs and I'm about to start a considerably smaller (size) willow hedge for fuel for the new house woodstoves.
I'm without caffine from lunch too and in the evening I have a selection of tins of posh juice and mocktails to grab to stave off that opening a cold one. (when I say posh I mean Mr A, poundland or B&M)we're not talking harvey nics here.
Might help. My fave so far is ginger beer.
There is a great selection of AF beers and ciders of course, depends what you think about those. Some are pro some are against, personally I think they're great.
I have some fairly pleasant AF wine in the fridge doesn't sing at all compared to the real stuff so it keeps in there much longer I only normally have one glass.
who knew that was possible.
I joined Belles' challenge like some of the great folks on here, made a huge difference to me and its free.
