Living in France

I am writing some replies about living and working in France over on the company forum/blog at Coast and Country Blog . I can write about the trials and tribulations of living in France a zillion times and it is always a matter of priorities.

I guess the bottom line is that there are good things, bad things and sort-of ordinary things in every country. Perspectives change and your needs and dreams alter.

Black Jack on Mont Blanc

It is hard to describe the feeling I have when my two sons are together, Tony is a man approaching 40 years old and Jack is 12.

This week we are all in Tony’s Ski chalet in the French Alps – I am of course on the computer all day, the boys are out on the pistes – here are some photos and perhaps you can see why I am so proud.

Here is a link to the album of their day Skiing on March 9 2007

Of course I am just as proud of my three daughters as well, Belle, Clio and Mimi  and will be writing about them.

All about France

I thought I would start off with an ambitious title – as if Life and Living in France was not enough. WordPress seems friendly, I tried it on the test site of Coast and Country France and liked it, so this is the second set up this week.

The aim is to get all the newsletters, links and forums into one place, a lot is still over on Nizas.com and there are forums on Harmony Ownership and Coast and Country to feed information to which I can generate from this blog.

There is also the information I wish to put in my newsletters and if this can all be put in one place I can get a newsletter out regularly.
