Well, I made it! I finally joined up to Steemit.
My name's Geoff Wakeling, I'm in my 30s and I'm a wannabe farmer. When I say 'wannabe', I mean that I have a small urban homestead with chickens, quails and veggies. That I'm lucky enough to have inherited some farmland which I want to move to in a couple of years. And that I really want to grow all my own food, live in a sustainable manner, and inspire others to do the same.
Problem is....
There's Netflix. And movies. And cuddly dogs...and family for that matter...which all distract me. You see, I ain't just some hippy farmer (though there's nothing wrong with that either) but I'm a sci-fi geek, I write fiction (fantasy and science fiction), I try to stay fit, I run the odd marathon. But it's important to have goals, and hopes, and dreams, right?! So, there - I'm a wannabe farmer and I'm gradually working my way towards that aspiration and living life on the way.
This is my husband....
These are my dogs....
This is my 19 year old deaf but cute cat....
And these are a TEENY number of my chickens...
I'm a brand new Steemian, so there's LOTs to learn! But, you know, I like to procrastinate so I will probably do A LOT of reading on here now rather than getting on with chores! Then, of course, there's chickens to clean out, plants to pot up, cut flowers to harvest, unfinished fiction chapters to write...the list is endless but I'll get to it.
In the meantime, I look forward to becoming part of the Steemit community!
