Fantastic! Isn't it great to be ethnic?
pookie

oo and I'm English living in Wales, hello Alicia Wink
Alicia

Thank you!

Welcome to Wales!
pookie

well thank you, which part of Wales are you in?
Alicia

Ceredigion, near Aberystwyth. Rural, more sheep than people. My husband grows veg, and we now have a woodburning stove with an oven and hob, to reduce our oil consumption in the heating, hot water and cooking departments. Works fabulously! I can recommend it - but we are going for self sufficiency in firewood, which means we get warm managing the wood, as well as burning it. A double whammy!
pookie

there are a few people on here very near you, they will be along to say hello soon I expect Smile

Hi Alicia im english Smile
Alicia

I'll keep an eye out, Pookie, thanks.

Ian, if global warming proceeds, I expect it'll be like Northern Spain here in Wales before long, except we won't hear Spanish in the streets.

Hello, Jenny!

Hello, all. Just think - those of us near Aber might already have met!

Although I guess if we had - well, my name is not that common!

Born in Bideford anyway. Even the most expansionist yorkie isn't going to claim Bideford.
Jamanda

I've said it before - I consider myself to be morally Yorkshire - the facts that my parents are Lancastrians and I was born in Devon are irrelevant.

I'm Lancashire living in Northern France.

What the whole county? Or do you mean you're actually the Duke of Lancashire?

I think it's wrong for any chocolate bar, however macho, to try and claim other counties.

Hello Alicia.

I'm Welsh and live near Aberystwyth and I wonder if the sheep belong to my partner. He's Welsh as well. He grows the sheep, I grow the veg. I say this with great optimism. I mean, he's good at sheep but I can't be so confident about the veg bit. Smile

I would definitely remember an Alicia, a pretty name.
