The Great Correze Adventure. Blog about eco friendly, selfsufficient living in Correze, France. Tuesday, 4 February 2014. Rabbit run in progress. Quality of pallet. Is it even worth picking it up?

Seating area. Looking for a fire pit for the center. If you go for cut, where will you cut? Yours will split whe...

The Great Correze Adventure. Blog about eco friendly, selfsufficient living in Correze, France. Tuesday, 16 July 2013. A Year en Correze.

Found cold induced burst pipes in the house. Found snakes (including vipers), newts, toads, lizards, a species of beetle as big as my hand, wild boar poo, goat poo and deer poo in the garden. There are a few...

We want to be aware of where our food comes from.” The weather is pretty much the reason. It has been unseasonably warm here in the. Chops, loin roast and a bit of bacon. Some Othe...

The Great Correze Adventure. Blog about eco friendly, selfsufficient living in Correze, France. Tuesday, 10 December 2013. One giant leap for self sufficient kind. A census pig tried to test me once!

Two months since our last entry. Takes that long to set up internet in the Correze! But, it arrives via microwaves so we can also thaw out our dinner at the same time as surfing the net! Painted rooms white (Mostly done by in laws on their visit). Learned how to despatch, skin and gut rabbits. C is not fun. Been given two oven...
