The Petite Coquine: Life, Love (& Cheese) in France  
In 2006, at the age of 37, I met Patrice, the man who would soon become my husband. In March of 2007, I left my life, my job, my friends and my family back in Portland, Oregon and moved to the French countryside southwest of Paris. From an urban businesswoman to a rural 'femme du foyer', this has been the most joyful and challenging time in my life!

Snippets from our smallholding in SW France: Labartere  
Describing our adventures and experiences as we cope with: learning to be self sufficient, trying to speak at least two French words in a row with the local people, remaining patient with the process of trying to rescue our ruin of a home, and generally adapting to a completely different lifestyle to the one we had in the UK. Which includes having no shower, no loo (porta-potties being great stand-ins, or should it be 'sit-ons'!), water from a hosepipe, and loads of extension leads rolling round the place for our electrical supplies to our caravan. It's a great life! And well worth the effort of relocating.
