Hi everyone, just introducing myself; long time (several years) visitor and registered a while ago but haven't been active.
I grew up on a smallish farm (for here) we produce superfine merino wool, fat lambs and beef cattle. I work 9-5 in IT in town currently, setting myself and family up to be able to afford to live back at the farm. (Best way to make a small fortune farming? ... Start with a large fortune... )
I've spent some time in the UK, at Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale up in the Lakes District area (think KL is not Lakes, but pretty close). Also visited relatives in Perthshire in Scotland for a bit. Spent most of my time with countryside folk and got the bug for the place, and I suppose BCUK is a bit of a way to revisit.
I enjoy camping and being outdoors generally, I'm a cobbler by trade and do a bit of leather work still-Mostly cutting tool sheaths- I also enjoy making knives and am looking to set up a forge to make use of my grandfather's tools-he was the local blacksmith in his area in Victoria.
Anyway thanks for having me on your forum.
Cheers, Eo
