Hello from sunny (at the moment!) St Albans in Hertfordshire, England - Page 3

post #21 of 66
Thread Starter 

St Albans is a smidgen outside of M25 (J21a) so we're pretty close to London (20 mins to Kings Cross on the train) but we've also got lots of beautiful countryside on our doorstep which is pretty nice to have both options as I love the country but also adore London smile

About me: I'm hoping that a move to a house with a garden will allow me to get my hens! My wife and I currently in an apartment so it's a no goer right now but I figured that I'd learn as much as I can before hand. My longer term goal (say 10 years) is to be self sufficient. Well, at least as much as is possible; keep own animals for meat, eggs and milk, grow vegetables/fruit and produce energy from the ground and wind. that's the dream!

sorry, rambling here. HELLO!

Derek:)


Hi Kaom....aka Derek...welcome-byc

Im fairly new....so many things to know, so little time hehe.

Your long term plan sounds like a dream....Ive always wanted to do that. Hope you find ur time here very informative.

Good luck.

I'd love to live as far outside of the system as is possible. granted I need the system for items such as white goods in kitchen, phone and internet/computer, but I don't mind if I can limit it to that!
