Is there an introductions thread? I just joined and can't find one but thought it would be nice to say hello to everyone.

Hello and welcome. Best way to find out who everyone is would be to click on a persons username - it gives a bio of them, if they have chosen to write one.

Okay thank you. I just thought it would be nice to give a general hello. Never mind I will just sneak up on people.

Probably best - the grumpy ones would not respond anyway. I would lurk waiting to hear comments from people whos opinions interest you. You can always send them private messages....

Thought it might be nice to have an area for this kind of thing so I've moved this thread to it.

Thank you Isabel. Here we go then.

Hello everybody, my name is Sally and my family have an equestrian centre in Cumbria. I know it is not faming but I am interested in all things rural and used to live on a sheep & cattle farm (have some funny stories about that as I moved from city and had to learn the hard way).

I look forward to hearing your views and getting to know everyone a little.

Sally

Hey Sally how are you? I just moved out of your area back to the land of milk and honey so they tell me! Don't feel right being back here, feel the people down the road are more genuine and unselfish! Welcome! BB.

Thank you for your welcome BB

You left Cumbria you must go and pack your bags this instant and come back, there is no-where like Cumbria ...... we have the rain, the isolation, hills too steep to farm, kendal mint cake and many other delights, so why on earth would anyone leave.  Okay it's not perfect but comes jolly close.

Sally

I remember Cumbria as being full of really awesome cake shops.

Not that I have a sugar problem or anything................

hasty exit:

It most certainly is ..... so we won't mention my latest failed attempt at dieting

Great grub is just one of the delights of life in Cumbria but I think there must be something wrong with the water here - every time I wash my jeans they feel a little tighter!!

Just wanted to say hello to our new - but familiar ! -  member 'herself'.

I've just seen your profile details and they made me smile. Lookign forward to the blog posts...

Oh no Isabel, don't mention the blogging, I wake up every day and say 'you must write a new post' and when I climb into bed I think 'damn it I forgot again'.

I have found blogging a nightmare, when you first decide to do it your mind is awash with ideas, then once you have the blog you sit in front of your computer and ....... nothing. It is certainly giving me a caffeine addiction though .... what can I write? ..... have a coffee something will come to you ....... hmmmmm .... well if I have another coffee then get started .... aaarrrggggghhhh

Damn now I shall have to go and write a post LOL
