So, here we are, 2 weeks away from completing the purchase on a house in rural France. Terrified? Yep. Wondering if we’re doing the right thing? You betcha. Waking up in the middle of the night sweating screaming Brexit!? With bells on. But faint heart never won fair maiden and all that…..

I promise we’re not your Grand Designs couple. We don’t run our own textile design business in “the City”, we don’t have children named Horatio and Jezebel. In fact our kids are furry, neurotic and if the winds in the right direction and they’ve rolled in something fox related, may smell a bit. We’re pretty ordinary peeps with a dream. A dream to renovate and one day live, in our own little slice of French rural heaven, and goodness knows why, thought some of you lovely people might want to come along for the ride.

So, if you enjoy food, travel, interior design porn, bin raking through vintage finds, a smattering of culture and fancy laughing at our DIY shortcomings as we try to figure out what the hell we’re doing, stick around…..
