You know; as I sit on our balcony on a Sunday morning, looking
out across the town, coffee in hand and with the bells of the cathedral ringing
I couldn’t be happier. Moving over to
France is most definitely one of the best things we have done. The pace of life, the community spirit, yes
of course the food and wine and even the idiosyncrasies and anomalies of French
life have given us a new perspective.
We feel a real sense of achievement because we are making a
life for ourselves here. We are working and
making a living enjoying what we do. We
are meeting some great people, making good friends and helping many of them
achieve their dream of a life in France too. I really hope that this is a
permanent move and that we continue to and further enjoy our ‘dream’.
Many people move to France, buy property and immerse
themselves into the French way of life.
They enjoy the benefits of a more relaxed lifestyle and relish the
experiences that daily life here offers, not to mention that community spirit
and the wine! But many reach a natural
conclusion to their French adventure and decide to return home. There must be
many reasons for that decision, as many as the number of people making the
decision I am sure and everyone will have their own story to tell. I only hope that no-one either saying goodbye
to them or seeing them return think that they have ‘failed’.
