Hi everyone, it's Ally here from North Yorkshire. Just joined and can't wait to find my way around.
I grew up in the countryside but now have a little terraced house which is my own suburban homestead. Doing what I can with a wood-burner, veg patch, sewing machine, and a very frugal mindset. I love the 1940s so always try to Make Do and Mend like they did in the war.
I couldn't find any UK chapters on the chapter search but if there is one, please could somebody give me a shout?
It's 7.00am here and I have got to get the kids up for school soon but I just wanted to say hello. Looking forward to meeting you all and learning from your experiences.
There are many paths. |

Welcome Alison,
I live in Riverside County in Southern California now but grew up in Anaheim with Disneyland. We moved there the year Disney started building.
I prefer my almost high desert city of Hemet where I live now. Temps are colder and hotter than Anaheim but I am getting used to it and my sister lives here so that makes it more enjoyable.
Again, hello and keep us posted on life in the UK.

| Thank you everyone for making me so welcome. I have just been looking at the merit badges and I am so excited. It is like being at Brownies (girl scouts) again, but in a good way, because this time I actually want to be here! I'm going to start with the sewing and blogging badges I think :) |

Hi Again Cyn,
It sounds like you might have been a librarian, yes?
I worked at the Anaheim Public Library for 10 years as a secretary but I was in Heaven since I am a book lover and always attended the book sales and annual Authors' Luncheon.
Hugs again,
Terri |

Hi
Welcome to the forums
I've been floating around the site for a couple of years now - but admit i rarely post a comment. I live near Milton Keynes so I guess the UK girls on here are about as spread out in the country its possible to be. A few more and we could have our own area of the forum and discuss the virtues of marmite and weetabix!!

Sue, Devongal, and any other Brits on here...I'm just finding my feet, having only joined last week, but if anyone wants to start a UK chapter I'm in! Even if it is just virtual.
There are many paths.
This is the Mumtopian one: http://mumtopia.blogspot.co.uk/ |
