Hi there everyone, we are Dave and Denise and we live in Brittany, France. We are strting on the route to being as self sufficient as possible, with veg patch, some chickens, and our first Tamworth piglets arrive in 2 weeks!! Still room for more!!
Denise says we are not going as far as a thunder box though!!

we'd quite like some pigs but don't have the space. In the next few years we're hoping to move so maybe then, and goats too :mrgreen:
