It's gone fast, that's for sure!! I can't believe it's over 6 months since I last wrote on here. So much has happened, good, bad, amazing, tear jerking. I think, on balance, it's been pretty amazing and on the whole a really great experience so far.
Who'd have thought a year ago that I would ever have been found in a village hall in a village in France, listening to a French mayor talking about what has happened in the last year and welcoming all the new babies into the commune. Certainly not me, but that's what we did on Friday night!! We went with some of our neighbours Jacques and Mimi. Jacques speaks patois, or very fast French if he's being good, and Mimi speaks french and no English, but it was still a great evening and hopefully showed the local French that we want to be part of the community.
Who'd have thought we would own a hot tub and a swimming pool, have my own business, have fallen off a horse and broken ribs (okay, maybe that one might have been foreseen by those who know me well!) and be registered in the French systems for just about everything? It's been a rollercoaster but even the scary bits have been amazing.
Anyway, now things are more on an even keel I'm going to play catch up on here and over the next few posts let you all know what we've been up to..
So keep reading!
