One of the first places we visited in the summer was the beautiful village of Aubeterre-Sur-Dronne. It is classed as one of the most beautiful villages in France which means it is extraordinary as most of the villages in France are like picture postcards. It has been listed as a “Petites Cités de Caractère” […] Read more…
You probably find yourself mopping up spills and wiping down kitchen countertops as you go, but does it feel like your kitchen could always be cleaner?

I really enjoyed getting out walking with them and Lucas’ confidence grew so much playing ball with them […] Read more…
We are fortunate with regard to beautiful scenery where we have moved to on the Charente/Dordogne border. Nearly every village is surrounded by rolling countryside and breath-taking views. One of our favourite places is Des Tourbieres de Vendoire which translates as The Boglands of Vendoire. It doesn’t sound very appealing, but this place […] Read more…
If you’re a young person about to enter college, you probably imagine it’s like high school but with a little more freedom. You’ll have the choice to live at home or move away.
