@Anaray Sorry, couldn't help but chuckle :lol: Mud mask is eggsellent for the skin I hear,;) Next time we have a downpour I'll take photos of the geese. They like to make holes in the mud and stick their heads in there.... :eek:

Fingers crossed for you. We have wet winters here so despite the baking heat and summer droughts the hardier weeds (usually thorny ones) :barnie still grow!

Sounds similar to our plans, be prepared for everything to take much longer than you think it will except for growing weeds :eek:

Originally the Llyn, but most recently Vale of Neath (rainiest place in the work I think :eek:)

We have about 30 olive trees, almonds, peaches ,lemons, apricots and figs. We had a plum tree but sadly it was so infected I cut it down. I have a right mixed bunch of poultry at the moment... I'll add the link to my intro below How' s everything after your gale force winds? No damage I hope?

I eventually found a supplier who had to special order it.. a week later it arrived and we have oyster shells! Any kind of supplements is tricky. The attitude toward livestock here is quite basic. They don't tend to 'fuss' as much as we do in the UK. It's more laissez-faire definitely!

I did look for oyster shells but mostly found mussels... Salamina sounds lovely... How are you finding it?

:lau

Also @Perris.. You're not wrong.. it's amazing here :love I'm blessed. I'm also knackered :lau Anyone who wants to come visit and sort shells is most welcome :D

Um yeah :frow but that's okay, I still go there when things are difficult Last year right about now, I arrived here and three days later my hubby went back to the UK (Didn't leave me, business to run back there). So.. I'm in a pretty neglected 'fattoria piccola": (little farm) Pretty much...

Hi! Expat in Sicily here. Struggling with supplies a lot here. I asked a local feed merchant for grit and/or oyster shell and he told me to go to the beach get shells and smash them up with a hammer... This might work but who has the time??! :th
