    Hi all, we've just bought our house and will raise our twin girls here. We have a decent size garden that I've managed to mess up already.. I'm new to gardening but the previous owner has established a lovely garden. I've a few questions but I'll save them for the forums. Thanks for having me and I look forward to chatting soon :)

    PS. Should I be getting a confirmation email even if sign up via Facebook.? If so I have yet to receive it..

          Welcome Sam, maybe check your spam email folder for the confirmation. That's where I found mine.

                  Stupid question: Is Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme the same place? I'm thinking of the one near "Roscoes Roundabout."
