Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

A Day Shopping




Today is a holiday (Ascension Thursday) and we were going to meet a friend in Castelsarrasin. But Aer Lingus has not been kind to him so he has yet to get there. Instead we are off to Bordeaux to order tiles for the bathroom and pick up toilets and sinks. We could buy them through the plumber but his catalogs have units which are ultra moderne so he said we could just buy what we want ourselves. Luckily Leroy Merlin (the French Home Depot) is open today.


Pictured is the finished loft ceiling which now has a skylight to give us more light in the space above the old kitchen. We already have a skylight in the loft space above the living room.
