  1. The Birdlife - this summer we have had at least two pairs of Golden Oriole nesting at the bottom of the garden.
  2. The Birdlife - this long and hot summer (yes, that as well), our French neighbour couldn’t resist demonstrating the bikini she was nearly wearing.
  3. The Birdlife - where else in the world could you buy turkey, duck, goose and chicken at these prices - and find all the recipes to cook them with!

Hi,
Yes, a lot! Before moving to France I lived in Sweden and was engaged in a number of bird projects (Red Kite counts, Eider counts along the Baltic coast, population counts for the Swedish Bird Atlas). Unfortunately where I live now the chasse is much more popular (and powerful) than the ornithologists!

I can’t narrow it down to three, but, at this moment in time, I am grateful to be far away from the morass caused by the referendum. I’m sick to death of hearing about it.

  1. Wherever we go for a day visit or just a drive we always find something new
    and interesting …sometimes it is an interesting property, an animal engaged
    in an doing something silly.

  2. We are constantly meeting new people and reuniting with old aquiantances
    and it is great to socialise but so lovely to be at home with the cats and see
    them so happy with their lives.

  3. We have an excellent doctor and a good vet. So we are all taken care of.
