Title: And another one from France
Post by: chickens on January 22, 2008, 08:56:01 pm

Hello everyone

What a brilliant forum - found it by accident.  We have lived in France for 8 years and this year have decided to take the plunge and go self sufficient as completely as possible.  We have a mill to restore and so be it this year we must and we are hoping to generate our own electricity as the mill used to.

Collected 9 dorset x sheep today and are very excited about them, we already have several goats, 3 dogs and another one to come from a refuge on sunday (newfoundland so not small lol), 4 kids (as in human variety), a very large 6 year old pig that we could not part with, two piglets for breeding purposes, are about to collect a pregnant sow, several chickens and ducks and a very fat cat!

We love it here and consider ourselves very lucky.

Looking forward to being a regular on the forum
