Right, I've been contemplating this thought for a few days now and I've decided to go for it, conditions in MK aren't getting better (They're infact getting alot worse but the less I think about it the easier it is). I'm going to Wales, Carreglefn on Anglesey. My nan used to live there until she passed away and now my Grandad owns the house but he's in Tenerife so I'm sure they won't mind me using it :) It's got a huge propane tank in the garden (All this is based on my memory of when I was last there 10 years ago) so atleast short term we'll have fuel to get us set up. It's in a very rural community, but there are the towns of Amlwch and Cemaes Bay close by. Food and that may be short lived in these places but if (and it's a big if) a few of us club together I'm sure we can take enough food to get us by until we become self sufficient. I have very fond memories of this house, there is a huge garden with a massive vegetable patch, so besides stocking up on seeds I think we should be able to get things moving there very quickly. Also it's surrounded by fields so that'll supply us with plenty of Mushrooms, poultry and rabbits :) Pretty sure my granddads gun will still be there. Also this bungalow has 3 Bedrooms, 2 lounges 2 bathrooms a nice kitchen, a work room (with Wood Lathe (Is that how you spell it, one of those things that spins wood, I've never been the most practical of people), a band saw and lots of other tools. Now here is where you come in, I don't want to go alone, one fuel will cost me alot, travelling all that way will be costly, but worth it in the long run, right? I'll be able to get a van to pack up loads of food, and to be honest, anyone else who wants to come. The house would be able to house 6 people I think very easily, So that leaves room for 5 more people, Is anyone out there interested, I'm sure if we club together, we can get those whole local community on board and create a self sufficient community very quickly. This is all a very quick decision, but please if your keen or no anyone that would be keen then let me know. I need to get out of MK now before I get caught up in this growing violence. Please anyone out there up for this? I fear I cannot afford it alone. Please please please get in touch as soon as possible, I'm already packing the essentials. Please spread the word of this, Thank you everyone! Stay safe and green! Michael in MK (Soon to be of Caraglefn, Wales) x p.s I realise I've missed ALOT of information out. If you have any questions about this venture then don't hesitate to ask me questions

Sprouts are very nutricous and pretty easy to grow. I get organic mung bean for $1.25/lb. and there are other varieties for more taste that cost more and have various benefits. Since your doing the sprouting yourself from seed or bean, they have a very good shelf life enabling you to stock up, depending upon variety 2 years to 10 years. In paticular, mung beans added to ramen noodles are very tasty and both are pretty cheap. An alfalfa, clover, radish and mustard mix piled high on a plate topped with a 3 oz can of tuna is very tasty also. I also buy powdered gatorade over the internet. I know everyone has the tuna, but sprouts make a big difference. |

I recommend these 3 because they are edible, I grow them all myself, and they grow very easily with almost no work, like weeds. In fact I have to pull up cardoon sometimes to keep it from spreading everywhere. Thinking of the oil and food shortagees, I just planted more squash and cucumber today. Good luck. Tom |
