Wilkommen, Bienvenu, Welcome
Welcome, gentle readers.
My blog is an everyday tale of regular folk who moved from Sheffield to the deepest Correze in France Profonde and thence to the rather more cosmopolitan Lot in search of something... different. We certainly found it.
The Lot is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Reptutedly, a famous TV globetrotter was asked where, of all the places in the world he had visited, he might return to. He answered, 'The Lot'.
Fans of Grand Designs will know about the construction of the house. So I'm writing my blog for those of you who are intrigued about what happens after the cameras have gone. And for those of you who'd like to know what it's like to live in a foreign country, what it's like to be British in France.
Since this is rural France, there shouldn't be too much in the way of murder, robbery and general malfeasance, but there will be observations about the idiosyncracies of the French and home thoughts from abroad. And, because I'm a lifelong dilettante, tangential sorties into the parallel worlds of sport, music, film, art and lidderachewer.
And I undertake to update it every week to keep you on your toes. Currently, 'Work Experience'. So prithee, go thither..
