Hey, welcome to Steemit!
Here's a couple of tips for you:

There's a 'tradition' here of having a first post being an introduction telling everyone about yourself. So if you make a post that has the main tag of 'introduceme' and another of 'introduceyourself' - you'll get some help and meet some people too.

Just another thing that occurred to me about your post here - be aware that most users aren't in Britain, so if you write about issues that are relevant to the time of year in Britain and the plantlife etc. - then most people will be turned off a bit.. I suggest framing such posts in such a way that people know it is intended for your region. ;)
