So it came to pass that after a couple of holidays in remote European villages. We decided we would like to move to France.
Long story short, we bought a house last year are now just a month out from moving in, our house in the UK having sold to the only bidder. This means we have reached the point of no return.
It might be considered a rash decision for all of us: me, my wife, our 18 month old baby girl with premature terrible twos and a cat with a closed door complex but decision made so here we go!
Anyway, so much has happened just owning the house in France and popping over when we can to try to decorate, repair or build bits of it that I'm just going to throw in random topics for my first few entries. This should (I make it sound like there's a plan!) get the background sorted before I do anything chronological. That said if it's happening now I'll let you know.
It sounds like quite the adventure! Which region are you living in?
ReplyDeleteWe are in the Deux-Sevres. Genuinely rural but alas wine free, mainly goats cheese in our area :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I should have said, but didn't, just then was thank you for being my first follower in what is my first foray into blogging. So thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure you won't gain any great insights from it but I'll aim to make it painless!
I think you underestimate yourself, but the best thing you can do is keep writing. It took me a while to find my feet, and I even stopped for a really long time. I found I could express myself best in long form.
ReplyDeleteYou've already taken the first step though just by posting.
