 :)Hello all, I am new to this forum. Also new to soap making, have made eight batchs of CP so far and I love it. I want to say its looks like a great forum. some fad information here. I am irish living in Slovenia with my partner Chris, dog,four cats, six chickens and six rats. Hope to have some goats later in the year.
We have been in Slovenia for a year now, gave up our nine to fives to start the good life. Loving every minute of it, has its moments.
Glad to be here :).

Hi, I am ashamed to say we dont speak the lingo just yet.The problem is everyone wants to pratise there english on us, and nearly everyone has a little english here. Very beautiful country and very friendly people. Hate to say it, but we have a fantastic veiw out of our windows of hills, forest and vineyards, its alll around us.
there be lots and lots of goats milk I hope. i forgot we have bees too.
I do feel very lucky, still miss Uk and home though.

It sounds just beautiful.  I must say, I think you are incredibly brave to just up sticks and move to a new country.  I think I rather envy that bravery.  It sounds sooo lovely.

Hi BooBoo its nice to meet you .

Slovenia sounds as Corrie says Idyllic, but I can imagine how it feels being away from home too. I lived in Germany for three years absolutely loved it all , the lifestyle , food, wine, scenery etc but still felt the distance at times.  I came back not speaking German because they al corrected my German and then spoke in English as they wanted to practise. Lol. What a huge leap for you

Looking forward to you  telling  us all about it and your adventures with Soap and your new life.

Hello BB
