Madame Bernadette who lives down the street tells me she’s had ‘shed pounds’ on her listing for 58 years and by no means succeeded – Bread Man’s buns, bread and muffins are too tempting! However this 12 months I’ve modified my thoughts about this conventional new 12 months behavior, and I’m setting myself reasonable targets – learn to make a cracking crème brulée, spend a day within the boulangerie with Bread Man baking croissants, and swim within the Mediterranean Sea – targets I believe I can actually get behind!

So bear with me whereas I get used to popping out of my shell!
I’m additionally engaged on a guidebook, but when that will get completed this 12 months I’ll eat my beret – it’s rising longer and longer and I’m having fun with writing it a lot I’m not dashing. I’ve cherished all of your suggestions for the locations that merely need to be included – from dazzling medieval villages, to fabulous seaside resorts, metropolis sights to hidden gems that aren’t well-known however must be. Be at liberty to maintain sending me your concepts – and thanks!
And I’m engaged on a property and life-style journal/e book thought – so many individuals e mail me and ask about purchase, the place to purchase, hire, visas, finance recommendation, banks and so on. We’ve a ton of knowledge on the web site, however I believed I’d create one thing that’s only for these wanting to maneuver right here or have a house right here – I really like a contented transferring to France story!
And eventually, a dream come true – in Spring and Fall, I’ll be co-hosting excursions of Paris with a wonderful tour firm who specialize in small group, bespoke excursions with authors – and I can’t wait to share Paris with you. Should you’d like to come back with me – I’d be thrilled, you could even seem in my subsequent e book! Yow will discover out extra right here.
