I'm glad to say that with many Brits returning to the UK finding that French life is maybe not what they'd expected or that they'd struggled too much with the language or even finding it hard to make ends meet as running a business over here is something else!! Your house and land that you describe sounds fabulous - do get in touch if you need any help with anything - you never stop learning new things with gardening all the time! Maybe you'll do a blogsite yourself? Do keep in touch and visit again - best wishes MirandaMiranda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840434272680732958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998261411601431479.post-69836318785611446932008-09-10T11:07:00.000+02:002008-09-10T11:07:00.000+02:00Hello MirandaIt is fantastic for me to have found ...Hello Miranda<BR/><BR/>It is fantastic for me to have found your blogspot via 'My Wildlife Sanctuary'. Last year my partner and I purchased a fantastic porperty near St Didier sur Arroux. We plan to leave the UK and move to Burgundy to establish a wonderful garden and wildlife haven. Visits to Le Moulin Jouleau at the moment are hard work, after an 8hr drive we clear a pathway through wild grasses to the house, we work continuously, strimming, mowing, chopping etc, and we always return to the UK exhausted yet blissfully happy and full of ideas and wishes for our French garden. Le Moulin has 11 acres, 4 of which is lake and whilst we do not want to change too much, it needs a helping hand to enchance the land and encourage more wildlife. The land has been neglected in past years and the debris of recent storms needs to be cleared, it was heartbreaking to see 150 year old Oak trees tumble down. We have a vegetable garden to design and create. I intend to study your blogsite in great detail as I can see that I will learn so much from you and your experiences to assist in this. Also you will help me to improve my French.<BR/><BR/>Come on British economy - hurry up and recover so we can sell our house in Kent and start our new life in France.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for creating your blogsite.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/><BR/>JaniceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998261411601431479.post-85990777522518183232008-08-02T10:31:00.000+02:002008-08-02T10:31:00.000+02:00Hi Wildie - thanks for your visit - I'm just waiti...Hi Wildie - thanks for your visit - I'm just waiting for the 2nd flush of Strawberries and Raspberries here aren't ready as I've got the Autumn ones!
