I know I'm a newbie and its a bit cheekie but I'm in South Shropshire within striking distance of west midlands, hereford, worcs & powys.
Would anyone like a local meet here? We are a mixed smallholding.
I could set up a barter table in the barns.

We work during the week and some weekend dates are already allocated, but as I said John if we can help out we will - it will be good experience and the opportunity to meet up with our downsizer mates.

I could easily make it to yours...don't know how much help I'd be with a small person in tow though. I'd have to either bring of find at home a willing (and understanding) sitter or just watch you guys at it!

How would that work out with your place OJohn-I mean would you be cool with a 2 1/2 yr old at your place? (would not be at all offended if you said you'd rather not - promise!)

Farmwoody & whoever else, I'm in SW Cheshire, next to the Shropshire/Welsh borders, so a meet this side of the penines would be good for me too.
Anyone any thoughts?
