It has 1 hectare of land. We should be able to grow a few vegetables on that. I would like to keep a few animals as well, but J is not too keen on that.

The air is very clean there, saying that everything is cleaner over there compared with here. Life is very much better over in France. We have been over there quite a few times now. Only one slight bug bear is that we will have to learn French, still, we seem to be able to get by with what little we have and every time we go over we learn a little bit more.

The farmer who is selling us the place seems to be a nice chap and has said that he will be glad to sell us eggs, chicken and guinea fowl and a farmer friend of his will be happy to sell us milk. A van comes round selling other supplies. The nearest town with shops is Trie Sur Bais, it is only 6Km away. It is quite a nice little town. Spain is a 1 hour drive away. The Atlantic is a 1.5 hours drive and the Mediterranean 2.5 hours. We should be able to do a lot more star gazing over there, if not there is an observatory on one of the mountain tops, which is not too far away, we can see it from our new place.

The main reasons for moving there are: -

It is very much cheaper than here. We need to be able to buy a place with no debts and this was the only place we could find.

It is cleaner than here. London is not very clean at all, air, streets etc.

It is friendlier than here. Just walking down the street, total strangers greet you with a very friendly hello.

It is a place that we can live life, rather than life living us.
