Hello and Welcome

[Bayleaf]

Hi Trelawny, another warm welcome to our small (and usually friendly!) forum. I grew up in Devon before moving here to NE Dordogne, avec la famille, 20 years ago, and know many great places in Cornwall. (I was a film extra in a very cheesy Paramount film years ago, that used Holywell Bay near Perranporth as part of their set).

Hi @Trelawney
I live at the bottom of Indre/top of Creuse. So probably not far from your secondaire. We moved from the Dorset coast to here in 2004 to a "No going back " type wreck of a farmhouse.
Still in the same house, though no longer a wreck!

We have been in our house since 2001 and have made it comfortable but have not needed to renovate in a big way. Our nearest town is La Chatre where we shop for most things and sometimes eat out.

Joyeux Poisson D'Avril.......an ideal day for my first post. Hello to All.

A year all ready ! And Easter Monday to boot......so this Old fool is getting ready to spend the next 6 hours at a point de ravitaillement in the middle of the Tronçais Forest !

Happy Easter.....

Ah, but, don't you get a warm glow when you think that you saved 11 lives and a whopping proportion of Decathlon's profits for the year?
