Hello and welcome to my blog.  I'm a busy English mother of 5, who 7 years ago swapped my life in England as an IT trainer and hotelier, to live the good live in rural South West France.

I live with my husband Gary and our children in a very large watermill in Haute-Garonne, which we will be renovating for the rest of our lives!  We run 3 holiday apartments, Kingdom Vegetal Garden Centre and Landscaping business and a Gardening Club.  I am in the process of writing a book about our experiences as a family living in France and decided to start a blog to offload ideas and see what people are really interested in reading about.
