Hello!

Hello there,

 My name is Debbie and I am from Hertfordshire.  

How did I get here you may ask?  Well I've been here looking through the site for hours and I've almost forgotten how I landed here....oh yes I remember now.  

 I love the countryside.  I live in a town but as far on the edge as I can possible get without falling off.  I can walk from my house and be in the countryside in 5 minutes, so I consider myself very lucky to be able to enjoy the best of both worlds.  

I had some time to spare so was browsing the net for English Countryside...as you do.   And here I am.  And now you are lumbered with me.  Oh boy. Haha.

 I cannot take a decent photograph to save  my life.  I don't have a camera, so that probably explains why and the disposables don't come up to scratch, whilst my mobile is way too fiddly.  So I am basking in the glory of all the photographs here.

 I am also a big fan of the weather.  All weathers.  Aren't we lucky living in such a varied weathery land. 

 I look forward to chatting with you all here and there.  I think I'd better shut up now, this is turning into one mighty big waffle.

 On a final note, thank you putting together this beautiful site.  I have loved wandering through the photos and I will continue to enjoy the pleasures here for a very long time I am sure.

Hi Debbie and welcome to POE from Anna and Ron. You will find plenty of the members ready to help with anything that you wish to discuss, so long as the posts remain family friendly! lol

And let me assure you there are one or two 'real' wafflers here, especially after a wee dram or two! What say you James, Dave? Then wait untill you get a dose of Vince, and then there's Shirley who'll talk the back legs off of you!

And then CathyML (Gummy bear) who waters our grapes in SA. We always get the best of their fruit and it does her head in, they keep the rubbish!

You are hereby invited to join the 'Grouse' club Debbie. lol

Hello Ron, and thank you for the welcome.

Well would you look at that.  Been here 5 minutes and I already know where to get the Whisky and the Chenin Blanc. I call that a good result.  

I look forward to joining the Grouse Club, and would ask if it included a good Claret, but fear for sounding reliant on the stronger stuff.

*Sits down with a cup of tea and tries to make a good impression* 

LOL@Debbie!

You can get a really nice Claret from most Supermarkets Debbie. Keep looking until you see one called 'Teachers' lol

Hello Vince and thank you.

I would love to be able to take some beautiful photographs and there is nothing more inspiring that what has already been posted here.

I may well bite that bullet and find myself something idiot proof, to see what I can come up with.  And once we've all stopped laughing I would love to pick up some tips. 

Hi Dave and thank you for the welcome.

I shall have a mooch around the other threads, and dip my toe in to see how it goes. :)

I will also take up your advice regarding the camera. The urge to get something is overwhelming, although the consequences could be quite catastrophic.

Still my photography cannot be as bad as my singing.  Well for your sakes I hope it isn't. lol.
