Hello!
I'm Jules.
I'm married to Maddave.
(And am otherwise referred to as his handler.....)
I live in Manchester and would call myself more of a campcrafter than a bushcrafter but as I prefer camp sites which are quiet, have little or no
facilities and can have open fires my heart is closer to bushcrafting than to the caravan and camping club!! Add to that Maddaves influence and I was bound to finish up here sooner or later!
I have a bit of an urban farm, I'm sure Dave has told you we have 4 ducks which yield 25-30 eggs per week. I've loads of herbs and veggies growing this year too. I never did get my goats but I'm not giving up hope.
To be honest you're never going to get me kipping in a hammock, I much prefer tents!
Being a foody camp cooking and open fire cooking is one of my major interests when we go away, I love to try out unusual and tasty recipes.
I don't have anywhere near the amount of kit Dave has but am always looking for the ultimate camp kitchen and knife.
It's nice to finally be here!
Jules
ooops..... I better start behaving now :D

Hmm maybe we better get something clear here.
In the 11 years I've known DAve I've never asked him to change.
I think it's one of the reasons we have such a great relationship!
He's just a big kid with a lot of expensive (and sharp) toys!
(Anyone who saw the photo of all his knives will know that!)
Dave if you start behaving now I'll be extremely worried!
Why change the habits of a lifetime??????

Are you coming to the Moot ? It sounds exactly like your sort of camping in the main areas.

I went and fetched me diary and everything!
To be honest having had a MASSIVE holiday in January to Canada and using over half my years holiday allowance in one hit and going to Nant Col in
May and an Egyptian Cruise in November for mums 70th Birthday I'm VERY low on hols for this year.
Next year is a definite. I just wish I could bring Frody!

I probably shouldn't say this but I've always been aware of exactly what he's been buying mainly because when a new shiny is purchased Dave has to test it, photograph it and review it for a post on here. I've never asked because it's been fairly obvious and I recently had to buy him a whole new storage unit just for his sharp things....
But we'll not tell him I'm aware of all his shiny toys because he likes to think I don't know about em! SHHHHHHHHHH!!

Welcome aboard Jules,
You haven't missed anything by not having the goats, they are curious creatures though - the only things they won't eat are the things you expect them to and they can escape from anywhere, being able to dig, climb and jump with astonishing ease. We tried a few years ago and soon became fed up with their antics - took them back to their original home with a "Thanks, but no thanks"!
Cheers
