Hiding in of the police suspect you of making moonshine

bunker (bomb proof, nuclear proof, earth quake proof...)

Rain Water collection - either above ground as a sealed tank, or in ground as a small stock dam.

Compost Tea Brewer - If you have any stock, 1000 litres of diluted manure is bound to make a massive difference to your garden, and you can just constantly have it on tap! (Don't forget to screen the outlet). You could also sell it, maybe...?

Biogas production - household size; underground.

Cheese!, lots of curds and whey.

......... to make a year's supply of Cheddar for MMM, who lives in the wrong cheese country!

First you dis the French garlic, now yer dissing their cheese!!!

I repeat what the hell is going over there, and how come they haven't heard about you and deported you yet. I'm sure it's a deportation offence in France to speak i'll of the local produce!.

But you are right , it's a strange phenonamen, a nation of varied and passionate cheese makers, and yet they haven't discovered the delights of making it a little bit harder, and leaving it a bit longer to make something as triumphant as...say Montgomery's Chedder, the only true Chedder (technically, or so I'm told by our "cheese man").

And I shall leave you with one final comment..

Cheezy by name Cheesy by nature

There are cheeses called Cantal and Comte, which are more like a cheddar type cheese, which can be eaten with pickle, but taste wise they are a pretty poor subsitute.

However, no-one (as far as I am aware) has gone on so far as to make a nice crumbly cheese like Cheshire or Lancashire etc, which I miss more than cheddar. (I don't miss cheddar because I can buy it here actually! ).

Ah yes Combe de Montagne, I have to say it's one we buy over here!

Known in the house as "flying cows " as they apparently pasture at 7000 ft or something. We imaging special cows with one side of legs longer than the other.

Though there is a new once we've tried also from altitute in France which is just a smidge off Chedder. I can not remember whats it called , but will find out for you next Saturday (Cheese shop day!.)

However you are soooo right you can not beat a good Lancaster or Cheshire, and if you need help in that area ask for Mrs Kirkhams Lancaster (this is one of the finest cheese's in England, she has her own herd of cows which she milk's, those on first name terms ask for a slice of Ruth!.), or Mrs Appleby's Cheshire also excellent.

Milly we could set up some sort of Euro swap, you send the Schutz, I'll send some decent cheese
