Living in France ..........
Its our experience of life in France.
and our
break from the rat race and mid-life crisis all rolled into one. We are
moving to France and you can
follow our journey from the terraced streets of Leeds in England to the
beautiful countryside of the French Limousin, and marvel at how well we are
doing in our French vegetable garden and with DIY on zero budget or maybe
just shake your head in wonder at our naivety, or point and laugh with your
friends, whatever. |

"We've run away to
Live in France and we're not going back EVER!
just so long as you know"
Why France?
"There's lots of it and we can afford to own a bit" |
|
Our new life in France involves starting off with life's basics like,
buying
seeds for organic vegetables
and trying to make everything we need, so expect most information on
the vegetable garden and
DIY project pages to start with.
From there we'll branch out to the little luxuries that will make our French lifestyle more bearable like homebrew and decorative plants, for the edges of the
vegetable garden and orchard.
When
we can like the Limousin villagers around us we will grow our own vegetable plants and soft fruits. DIY projects by the dozen are waiting for us and we will share know-how tips
both self learnt the hard way or
DIY advice from
books as and when we tackle the multitude of projects in the home and vegetable garden
We will review the
DIY books we have read when we can, the French forums we have lurked on and the successful
Limousin Expat's we have stalked here while living in France. And let you know what happens when we try to put their knowledge into practice. So off we go to Limousin France for at least six months with two dogs and a cat, lots of books about plants vegetable gardening and DIY, limited funds, beginners French and no practical experience.
