Hello from South Brittany

Post: # 172132Post starbrite »

Hello, my name is Roz, married to Paul and we live near Redon in south Brittany, my blog can be found here http://rozinbrittany.blogspot.com/ and lots of photo's here http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll4/ ... v_tab_albu , I like the 'ish part to this site and look forward to contributing and learning from here.
We have animals here but its difficult to list them as the numbers change, often because theres room in the freezer, at present we have chickens, geese and ducks, we had Turkeys, sheep and more chickens, our new sheep will be here next year. This weekend we have two ponies arriving, we have a lot to do this weekend getting the "paddock" ready and have had to find other land as well so we can rotate them as we don't really have enough land to support them all year round.
Vegetables, we don't do a lot, usually potatoes, courgettes, onions and some salads, we have tried to do a lot more but we really are lazy gardeners.
We've planted a couple of apple trees this year, we have a grape vine and a walnut tree.
We are extending the house this year and we are going to put in some water collecting barrels in, but we do have a well which we use for watering the animals and garden, in the future we want to connect the well to the house for the toilet.
I would like a poly tunnel but land is always a problem and although we are in farm land theres none for sale close enough.
Roz
