!!Bye Bye UK!! Bonjour Moi francais Amie!
Discussion
Not sure if that title reads correct....
We have now left UK shores for good (good riddens) after our 5 year plan has come good
Hello to all our new French neighbours, maybe a run at some time as discussed before?
for now, at Villa, sitting by pool in 23 degrees looking out over Nice
until the hard work starts

Bonjour mes amis Français 
We're hoping to do this within the next 3-5 years.
Good luck, hope it works out
Jaloux? Oui
Thanks, starting French lessons asap, wife is fluent & finds me very funny We're hoping to do this within the next 3-5 years.

Good luck with your quest, it certainly seems worth the graft at the mo, maybe a different story in a years time mind, but here's hoping!
think its about 5 degrees cooler SW Normandy so would still be lovely today, sat in shade now & still comfotable.
Its so incredible having planned & worked toward something for so long, for it to actually happen, it's such a great feeling as I'm sure many of you remember, there are only a few of these unforgetable days that happen in our lives but this is truly one of them, so thankfull to be alive & healthy enough to enjoy it today.
hallelujah, praise the lord!
(sorry, just incredibly releived & overjoyed)

Welcome.
I'm up north in the Loire valley, been here 15 years and not looked back once.
Oooh - whereabouts, we are in the Loir valley, just north of Tours (actually equidistant to Le Mans at the PH favourite La Chartre sur le Loir)I'm up north in the Loire valley, been here 15 years and not looked back once.

damn it! bubble burst, had to happen I guess....
having electrified our gates over a couple of days which left us exposed occasionaly, someone had obviously noticed we were quite relaxed with our security & decided to walk into our kitchen whilst we were in the lounge eating and nab what they could, got my wifes hadbag and my walllet keys to most of the vehicles were in the handbag as was one of our passports, driving lis. etc etc
now familiarising ourselves with the local police force, lawyers (for signing of passport pics) etc using my pigeon french
luckily house keys were not taken but changing ignition barrels on cars without any ID or credit cards is quite difficult, especially when one is from america, oh how we'll look back and laugh
bloody forced the gates open & pulled one of the newly fitted rams off the wall bigger bolts me thinks.....

true, hope you get it all sorted soon and with relative ease and that it won't burst the bubble for too long.
Thanks, we are already laughing about it, a quick ride along Nice Prom in glorious sun soon puts things to rights our view encompasses the snow capped mountains to the south of you towering above the sea, you could almost give us a wave 
hows the snow coming along where you are?
should that give me an idea when we should venture up for some boarding? only 1 hour away apparently...
guess your gearing up for the season now eh, might venture up your way for Christmas, do you know the name of that hotel in town (Chamonix) that has the in/outdoor pool, think its 4/5 star, cant remember its name though....
