Hello from (a NOT raining!!!) Manchester!

Hello, I'm Chris from Stockport. Keen (but very amateur) gardener & horticulturist; just entering the beginnings of twitching....the hobby, not the affliction, if they be different things!

Hello Chris, There will be plenty to interest you here with gardens and birds. Before you know it you'll probably become interested in other things, with others peoples enthusiasm and photo's capturing your imagination. Welcome and enjoy the site .

Ahhh, it's from photo's I started: Rainmaker Nature Photography Not been updated in ages, but hey....! Been meaning to get the ID sections up and running properly, it just takes ages, which I prefer to spend walking or gardening - spend all day at a PC, so not evenings & weekends too!!

Thanks for the welcome all!

Re: Hello from (a NOT raining!!!) Manchester!

If you are needing ID's there will be plenty of people here who will be able to help you out.
I also came to WAB wanting ID's for my website about our garden, before I knew it I was spending more time on WAB than in my garden or working on the website -I was hooked! Be careful it will happen to you too .

Hello Chris and welcome, nicely put together website, you'll have plenty of dark nights to update it after you've put the garden to bed for the winter

Pah, I always start the garden early &/or try and get a year round interest in there (that could be read as "it's always untidy, and I'm always changing things" ). As well as the garden & the website, I'm also doing an RHS qualification (VERY slowly!) and try and get out and about in the countryside for a day every weekend.... not enough hours in the day, work doesn't help

Oh, and the wife demands attention too.....
