Download My Good Life in France: In Pursuit of the Rural Dream AudioBook Free
One grey dismal day, Janine Marsh was on a journey to north France to get some cheap wine beverage. She returned to England a couple of hours later having put in an offer on a rundown old barn in the rural Seven Valleys part of Pas de Calais. This is not at all something she'd expected or organized for. Janine eventually gave up her job in London to go with her hubby to live the nice life in France. Or so she hoped. Whilst getting to grips with the locals and la vie Française, and renovating her dilapidated new house, a building missing the comforts of mains drainage, heating, or proper rooms, and with little money and less of any clue, she began to realize there is many more to her new home than she could ever have imagined. Ten years back, Janine Marsh made a decision to leave her commercial life behind to repair up a run-down barn in north France. This is the true report of her rollercoaster drive, in many ways a love report, with her well-defined observations on the very different way of life, culture, and etiquette of France. From her early on problems and homesickness through personal tragedy, to her tries to become self-sufficient and also to breed "the fattest chickens in the village", Janine found that there is more to her new home than she could ever have imagined.
