I'm just settling down in France having lived in Rainham, Kent for most of my married life. We have a really old house in a little hamlet just outside of Mauprevoir, Vienne. Have just had a very good week with my son and his wife and the book which prompted me to join is part of my birthday present. I love reading and have a wide interest. Am newly into this author, having read just one before, which I loved. Now have two more. Love the idea of this site, will pass to another Anglais ici who will probably send it back to Yorkshire. If the book comes back to me I will send it to my friend in Italy. I will report back when I've read this book. I think this whole idea is fantastic!!!
