In 2004, my little family decided we were ready for an adventure. So we sold our house in the UK and decided to try the Poitou-Charentes region, to see if life in France would suit us, and we haven't moved since. Our daughter was 3 years old at the time and is now bi-lingual and we are completely integrated into our little French community. In 2006, our family grew slightly with the arrival of our son, and our life is hectic but we like it that way. My husband has his own business, I'm busy working too and I'm also the Treasurer of the Parents Association at our local primary school. There are plenty of things to fill the days but also time to relax in the garden, surrounded by our entertaining chickens.
