Hi, together with my husband, 2 german shepherds, 1 puss, 1 goose and 6 hens we live in a small village on the North York Moors about 9 miles from Whitby. Although a primary school teacher for 30 years I now just do occasional supply preferrig to be a housewife and help with hubby's engineering business. I am a keen frugal cook, enjoying usine the ingrediants we produce ourselves. Great to meet up with new faces.

Yes indeed a lovely part of the world, used to drive through their on our way up to the North East to visit parent-in-law when we lived in Derbyshire. Welcome.

One question, does your goose get lonely or does it fuss around the hens? Just curious having never had a goose.

Thanks for the welcome folks.

Jo, the goose is quite an independent chap really. We have had him nearly 19 years now. He had 2 female companions but sadly they died. He loves to let us know he is there by nibbling at the window for some bread!JoImage Enlarger
