Hey all -

As above this is long overdue - I joined up a while back and for some reason could not find this section of the forum to introduce myself!

I've always been a nature type - Grew up in the country in Dorset and have stayed here all my life so far! I suppose you could say I'm a typical, but not so typical country gal! - Spent a few years working on a farm and with animals, horses etc.
Currently I am a self employed photographer. I enjoy all kinds of weird and random things that would make most women in my area cringe at just thought of participating in such things.

I, ofcourse love being outdoors - My partner (luke), my daughter Kiara and I all love camping and are the proud owners of a Bell tent. Our two large dogs, Zeus(40 kilo German Shep) and Shanti (30 kilo Rottweiler cross) enjoy it just as much as we do! Luke lives and works in the woods in Chard, so we tend to spend alot of time out there.

Sad to say I enjoy hard work - And tend to be pretty damned determined once started - Love getting my hands dirty and would much prefer to be helping around the campsite!
Over the past year I have really taken a liking to tanning skins ( scraping, working - the lot!) - rabbit, squirrel etc- Am yet to try a fox though, as much as I would love to I don't know to many people who can provide me with one - soon hopefully!

And I also seem to be getting into wood carving - and all other bushcrafty things!
So far I have found this forum incredibly plesent and helpful - everyone is kind and I am yet to have one snooty comment about my spelling :)
(My excuse is that I type to fast to realise! haha)

Hope you all have a good afternoon!

Regards

Zoe

P.s. Snooty comments now expected after pointing out my own weekness :)

We have loads here (including staff) where English is not their 1st language also quite a few (including staff) that have dyslexia .... though for some reason their spelling seems to be better than mine. As long as you don't start using geek / txt speak you'll be fine.

Welcome aboard by the way

Haha - Any luck? I'm sure there will be a few!

only one but I'm pretty sure it's intentional. however I wouldn't like to bet either because I'm pretty carp at spelling too :)

Anyway belated welcome [I still haven't introduced myself yet and I've been lurking for quite awhile now - maybe I should :)]

Thank you :) I avoid text speak as much as possible - So hopefully, like you say I will be fine. Its a shame really, I have joined a few forums over the years for different topics and this is the only one that I have come across, were everyone is friendly and the new people don't get ignored.

And I am very glad I have come across it. I hope to be able to get involved in some of the meets soon too! I don't think I have seen one for Dorset yet?
Both me and my partner wanted to come to the Bush Moot before I had even registered, but unfortunatly getting time off work makes it impossible.
