and I thought I was the last of the original fruit-loops when it came to names! OH BOY I feel as if I've come right home here!
My screen name of Saladman dates back to when I was working for a Hydro-ponic Lettuce company and travelling around our region's food providers selling gourmet salads and Herbs. The title just sort of stuck with me, because my given handle (Chris) is just SO darned hard for us Kiwis' to get our heads around!
My bride , (Supreme Commander) and I have been married almost 45 years,
we have 4 fantastic kids (girl, boy, girl, boy)
3 of whom are married and have produced
Grand-kids
(nine, and more in the planning department) youngest son is still looking around for HIS S.C. My bride and I live in rural heaven. We own a Hobby Farm of five and a half acres. We grow and export Kiwi-fruit there. Plus I have a small manufacturing business which I run from my home workshop.
(I know, "don't sound much like a hobby"! and you are right!
) We are both active in our local Church (Catholic)
and are very keen supporters and promoters of our nearest town's Farmers Market.
We have lots of critters around us at home ( Kia Orana Gardens)
and they are all treated with love and respect.
especially our Henleys!(about 30 at last count)
