Just wanted to say hi to everyone. What a great website and brilliant to see so many like-minded people interested in sustainability and self-sufficiency.

I'm very jealous

of most people on here who have their own land and animals etc, at the moment I'm in New York City (but originally from Staffs/Cheshire) in a small apartment with just a small window ledge to grow a few things on!

When we come back to the UK and cobble some money together to buy some land I hope to be well informed after reading these forums!

Alex

PS anyone going on any city breaks to NYC is welcome to ask for tips!

hi there .specific and general
we dont all have land ,plenty of us are urban /have "normal"jobs etc but i recon we all know home made jam is better than industrial jam

,for instance i have cows as part of a shared herd ,we are breeding them on my friends land with their care and expertise .some folk have done "raise you a pig "schemes etc .the arts and crafts posse on ds are as diverse as the farmer growers and outdoorsy types ,some of the things i have learnt here are rare skills

hope you find things of interest here ,we are a bit odd but friendly ,as a virtual village D S seems rather a nice place to me

Hello from Wales...I think dpak has described us well but what I like about the Ds also, is that It is a virtual Village, but one that gets to be Real everynow and then, we have gatherings where everyone can meet and make friends, where Skills are shared ,feasts and Real tea and Yummy cake are actually eaten...and we have some very good cake makers here...Some strong friendships,even relationships, have been made because of Downsizers...so watch out
