In the meantime a large milestone is looming for me. Throughout the Pandemic years once we weren’t capable of journey freely, I finished producing The Good Life France journal. Then in March 2022 as all of us tried to get again to some normality and journey opened up once more, I relaunched the journal, and I made a decision to enhance it – however nonetheless maintain it free.

Not me, that’s for certain, I’ve to pinch myself every day!
