I still have to find out what this place is all about but thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 35, living in Wales with my boyfriend, dog (Devo) and Cats (Little Bones and Polly)
I work in a Broadcast library and basically enjoy my life. I have an allotment, love visiting Ireland where I was raised and enjoy festivals and music, books and art.
	I worked for a bookshop for many years and still miss being around so many new books.
What else can I tell you! Um. I hope to have kids soon though if it doesn't happen then it'll be ok. I'd like to foster or adopt an older child if I can.
	I have a small family (My dad died a few years ago) but am quite close to them.
	
	Hi Runnerbeans!  Welcome to ForumGarden.  You will like it here.  By the way, I'm not familiar with your description of:  "I have an allotment"  What does that mean?
Thank you!

				Chat Forum, very freindly, good advice given, jokes shared, etc etc. It's not about gardening as such (as in your allotment) although there are gardening discussion threads!

				Am another who loves your screen name.  Come on and have fun.  Our rules are pretty basic, Do not Flame, Do Not Spam and you will get along quite fine.  Our Mods and Admin are awesome folks.  Our members are as colorful as a box of crayolas and everyone has "something" to say.  (and sometimes it is best to say it) ahahahaha
	We hope you stick around like Babyrider stated.
	Cheers
