Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and "say hello" to you all. My name is Carol Ford, I'm a new business start-up with my business Growing Direct and I'm pretty new to Social Networking, via things like 4Networking and Twitter. I'm enthusiastic, passionate about Fresh Produce and Food and love helping Growers and Producers - particularly in the UK but also from abroad.

I like sport particularly cycling (at the moment) and live on the edge of the wonderful Cotswolds very near to Stratford-upon-Avon, although I'm originally from Basildon, Essex - so yes you have a true Essex girl on here. I also like to cook and bake, though I'm very basic and throw it together kinda gal.

Nice to meet you all on here and I hope to make and develop some great friendships and potential business associations.

All the very best, Carol (Oh yes and I smile......a lot)

Hi Carol,

Welcome to the forum and 4Networking. I read the link above regarding the logo. I had to ask too as I was having problems! If I remember rightly, it updates overnight but you can short circuit it by pressing F5. Try loading and then F5 this worked for me.

Regards from the other side of the Cotswolds!
