European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) are the worst creatures go within 3 feet of their nest and they sting you all the others are very tolerant and leave you be

It could be a Common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra)

There have been two constructive replies and the poster still has not responded what are you saying was unpleasant its nice to say thank you After 615 posts have you have not noticed you can't quote its gibberish

richard51 said "Give quillan my regards." He lived in Axat Quillan is a crap town lived nearby for two years and left

I wondered what the blue fields were whilst going along the Chartres rat run a couple of weeks ago. More often Opium Poppies

Active This thread is dead 6 years old and Quillan lived in Axat

After living in France 23 years in four homes, one of the reasons I give up posting/reading and offering advice on English/ French forums is a poster asking for help never responding What a waste of my time

Which part of the beams are rotten is it just the wall ends If it is Jack up the ends dig out underneath the old wall ends insert a similar beam size underneath through the wall projecting a half metre into the room bolt together and cement in the new beam support

Hi How do you intend to sell the property in the future, as a British second home do you expect French buyers to employ a clear out every 20 months I have been in France 22 years now in my forth home its down to situation and a good Fosse septique to make a profit

nomoss is Quillan ?if its the same bloke he lives/lived in Axat confused Never the less both places are crap I had the misfortune to live there for 3 years hence the name

Hi Roses are interesting the root stocks are selected to pump up sap to certain heights you can get most flower heads on bush.standard and climbing roots, which rose do you like For a small standard I think any variety can be trained as you wish

Hi I think you will find it hard to find work As for the Pyrenees a good choice the best end is the west Pays Basque or Bearn the the East Aude and Pyrénées-Orientale is harsh and unfriendly The Dordogne and Correze are OK but to many swallows ie part timer Brits which piss off the local French I started of in 1996 with a few quid a house to renovate and as a back up job the possibility to be a relief coach driver for Euroline at Brive but for me it worked out well Renovate your full time home probably 2 years and 3 years later sell it at a profit do it again and again any spare cash pay voluntary into the UK pension system The best of luck

Just grow a few King Edwards as I have for 22 years and keeping some for planting next year, best jacket spuds ever Known in France as Oeil de Perdrix

Its just the same as the UK queen saying my people The UK population have never twigged they are subjects not citizens

Seems about time ex France inhabitants, had their own forum I'am not in the least interested in Jonzjob having a new workshop in the UK I thought this site was about living in France

I hope the UK did not go to war for a religion, you may have a good faith but I have none, not many years back I would have been burnt Why should one or more people believe in the unbelievable and wontantaly kill unbelievers in their god Faith is chit and the word began with s If you believe in a god listen to the English anthem god saving her/it/him but just hundreds of armed guards must be Satan walking about or just another fairy

Hi You have caught me out I am not grumpy let alone living now in that terrible place Aude In the old days you could see me on a pub table dancing with a pint in hand trousers down toilet paper up my bum on fire doing the dance of the fiery arseholes I am now off to see my old Army mates last seen 30 years ago to honour the deaths of my old regiment in NE Italy 100 years ago Its in a couple of weeks hopefully the passes near mount blanc are clear I made love to my wife many years before my father died but it was a place both my father and I since a child knew and loved very much PS Making love in a field with the grass, smell ,blue sky and insect ,bird, sounds/songs around is heaven best try it I still do

Thank you for your replies interesting responses I hope when I die my requests in my will, will l take place I love France and its people especially the Basques but I wish that my are ashes are scattered at an old British Iron age fort where I made love to my wife many years ago and my fathers ashes remain

I asked the question because so many people think France is brilliant, Its not I have lived here permanently since 1996 The winters are cold and the amount of time paperwork to do anything goes on and on Yes its a Great country but life is not that easy but no chance of me leaving happy to die here

To me it seems not many

I have to admit the Aude valley on route to Perpignan or Andorra is geologically spectacular but its the poor decrepit villages on route most houses and shops are in decay I did enjoy visits to Carcassonne out of season

I lived in 19 Correze close to the border Most of the Brits said they lived in 24 but although the villages looked the same, they were still both Crap The Brits are in 19 ,24 and 46 because the French could not find work in the 70's and left the areas they were poor areas hence cheap prices In the old days 1996, my first home was 24,000 ff for two houses and a hectare of land £24.000, how things have changed
