My partner and I came to France full time over 2 years ago. Stupidly we did not inform either the UK or French Health Authorities. 2 years later we try signing up to the French system. They refuse to take us as we do not have the correct UK health certificates. The UK refuse to issue said certificates as we have been out of the country for more than 2 years. We are in a Catch 22 (of our own making). One suggestion is that we return to the UK, sign up with my parents doctor using their address, obtain the correct UK certificates and return to France. I do not believe this is the correct way to do things. Is there a correct solution? Many thanks Steve

This foggy morning, on our daily walk, we encountered roaming hunting dogs and hunters with guns hidden in the mists. We have no problem with hunting providing the kill is eaten. We do have a problem with hunters using our land (6ha) without informing us they will be there. We take our dogs with us, they are pointers and have great fun snouting out smells and chasing Hares etc. The risks are obvious and not ones we should be subjected too. Is the only option to ban hunting on our land? Do the hunting rules state that land owners should be informed of any planned hunt? Also, if we do ban hunting on our land do we have to fence it all off? Many thanks Steve
