Well, here I start, and find that I have managed to begin with a spelling mistake! Brilliant isn't it? I am really fussy about spelling and grammar - for me anyway - and find I had pushed the damn button just seconds before I proof read it, so it will be there to haunt me.
Call it a salutary lesson: my family will tell me that pride comes before a fall.
Who or what am I? Well after a visit to France many years ago, at the age of 15, I had always wanted to live here. It was not possible at the time; I would have had to redo all my studies, in a foreign language, and pay for them and obtain a work permit....
Now it seems, centuries later, I have achieved it. Nearly four years ago we moved to Charente Maritime and after a lot of work the house itself is now just about finished.
I did try to start a blog about this two years ago, but did not manage to access it again, so lets see if this second attempt works!
Tell me if you have managed to read it - if so I will continue soon.
