My Good Life in France: In Pursuit of the Rural Dream | Janine Marsh

so-so

A memoir of a couple from England who fall in love with a vintage farmhouse in France, and decide to make it their home, despite its being a money pit. I had trouble concentrating on the audiobook, so it was a so-so for me.

My Good Life in France: In Pursuit of the Rural Dream | Janine Marsh

pick

A charming memoir of an out-of-the blue decision to buy a run-down house in France. It includes a lot of animals, a lot of French food and and a lot of quirky French neighbours and customs - good fun!

I‘m including this for #france in #readingeurope2020, and also for #house/home for #m&m.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Oh nice this sounds like a good pick for the #houseorhome prompt for #mandmchallenge2020! I love books about France. 🇫🇷 5y

BarbaraBB Hi Helen, you‘re quiet this week, all well? X 5y

squirrelbrain Hi @BarbaraBB thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately my lovely mother in law passed away on Thursday evening. She had been suffering with MND so, whilst it was expected at some point, it actually happened much sooner than anyone thought. 💔 My husband and his family are all coping well though, it‘s such a terrible disease that it‘s quite a relief that she‘s no longer suffering. Helen x 5y

BarbaraBB I am so sorry for your loss. It is a terrible disease indeed, it must have been so hard for all of you and your mother in law herself to cope with. Wishing you lots of strength now and in the sad times ahead. 😘❤️ (edited) 5y

squirrelbrain Thanks Barbara, your kind thoughts are much appreciated 😘 @BarbaraBB 5y

Crazeedi @squirrelbrain I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, sending a big hug and prayers across the pond💔 5y

squirrelbrain Thanks Diane @Crazeedi - your thoughts are appreciated ❤️ 5y
