there is a very remakable lady carrying out an experiment in the Limousin.

she is trying to become self-sufficient, really self-sufficient !

off grid, water from a source, own livestock and poultry, and an annual budget of £3,333.

she has a blog/diary which makes very good reading, and it can be found at;

if you are interested in reading about her trials and tribulations have a read.

i hope this doesn't breach forum rules ....

This forum has so few rules, you'd have a job Mr Smith

I'll add another off grid blog here, it belongs to Irene and Fabrice (she is known as hardworkinghippy)
