We are off to live in France for three months. It’s something we’ve been dreaming about for years. In fact it has its origins in my first family trip to France more than 30 years ago…

Last year we finally realised that our dream would remain just that – unless we did something to make it happen. So, months in the planning; a little later in the execution than originally planned, to allow for the unexpected baby on board (!); weeks in the anticipation, now it’s about to become a reality and we’re only a little apprehensive…

Watch this space for more about our preparations and our travels. We hope it will go well, but we may just have to chalk some of it up to experience!
