The Wansdyke & District Forums

Hello all. Dave, moved out to the village from Reading last year, working from home now and finally getting to know the area properly. This forum has already taught me more local history than I picked up in forty years of driving past it on the M4. Just wanted to say hello and thanks. Any tips for a townie still finding his feet very welcome.

Welcome Dave! You will fit right in, you are already asking the right questions. Do come to a history society meeting if the mood takes you, first Saturday, all welcome. And ignore anyone who calls you a blow-in for less than thirty years; it is meant affectionately. Mostly.

welcome. youll know youre a proper local when you start complaining about the second-homers, which round here takes about a fortnight. give it time.

ha, noted Bill. im already side-eyeing the cottage three doors down thats dark eleven months of the year, so maybe im further along than i thought.
