Hi
We (Me, wife, son, PBGVs and chucks) would like to say hello. Ways we are self sufficientish? We grow vege and fruit in the garden. When our Light Sussexs are laying we "grow" eggs. Most excitingly we are currently looking to move to France to run a smallholding hopefully with a gite for pocket money. Our aim will be to be truely self sufficientish as possible. House goes on the market this week, all very nerve racking!! All hints, tips, offers of help gladly accepted!
Ben, Michelle, Isaac, Archie, Lottie, Tikka and Bhuna
Hello everybody

Re: Hello everybody
Hi there and welcome
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Hello everybody
Hello and welcome!
I am jealous about your project for the fact that you will be going before us... We will be heading to France too, but probably not before 2012. Lots of things to organize in the mean time, so it may go quick
Where are you heading in France?

Re: Hello everybody
You have already started a thread...this is it! (A 'thread' is 'New Topic')
As this is really a 'get to know you' area, the 'Chat' area would be a better place for your ISHblog, so a thread there would be ideal.
