When we first arrived in France, we were struck by some similarities with the US. I started doing these separated-at-birth posts back then, as you'll see if you click on the 'LABELS' thing. As it turns out, I haven't found that many amazing similarities - many vague ones, others requiring research, which I am notoriously shy of.
But a friend of Her Outdoors from California came to stay with us last week. She's continued with her travels now, but mentioned running into an aggressive policewoman on the TGV (she made the mistake of smiling at a policeman - and as you know, they're not famed for their sense of humour). Which prompted me to return to this forgotten theme. I know lots of police carry guns. Like I said, striking similarities are elusive. If you can think of any, this is the place to note them down.
We're expecting another Indian Summer this year, so we're staying open until October 29th. We're also introducing mid-week and long-weekend breaks from September. More on this soon...
"Good Life Weeks" are now available whenever you want them (except July & August) - for a minimum of two people. To book a working week, or a relaxing holiday, check out the availability on the website today.
Geese is the word
Say "rrk" to our newest arrivals.
Our 15 minutes of fame
We were on national TV last year - twice. You can see us picking up pigs and preparing for the first guests of 2011 here.
Left the cushy, well-paid, four-day week, sold the tiny house and moved with Her Outdoors and two small children to 10.47 acres in France, to live self-sufficiently in yurts and set up a yurt campsite. Sounds easy, doesn't it? That's what we thought... in August 2006.

Alexxx,
That is the strangest entry you ever have put out!
What does it mean? Can you elaborate?
Hi Cathy,
