I don't suppose I'm a typical member of the forum since my farm is a little different from most of the rest of you. The wife and I live a little way from Seville in Southern Spain where we farm olives, citrus and tree and soft fruit,( fig, peach, nectarine etc.) Been here in Spain for 15 years and no intention of ever returning to UK . Speak Spanish like a native, (ok -the wife does !) got some great friends over here, and the best part about it is the lifestyle, ok so I haven't finished that rotavating, what the hell did they invent Manaña for !! The only thing I do crave is a decent flock of chickens, (see my posting on chickens) Do a bit of contracting locally, with the tractor and spray etc and love the life.
