I'm new to this forum but have been visiting it for quite a while, before we bought our place in 56 I used to buy 'Living France' mag which I have put on my 'wish list' for Xmas (a years subscription) as I like reading about how others have made a new life in France and have found it very helpful and informative. I cant help wondering if this will slow down with the changes in Healthcare. We too will be early retired and will have to pay, we do have a good pension but still it's all very unsettling. I expect I'm not alone and there are many others who feel the same, it's wondering what will be the next change and if France will be a better place because of it?

This is aimed at the ladies! I will be moving to Brittany next year and my husband will be working. It something I have dreamed of for a long time, not having to work! but just wondering what you ladies find to do with your time?? yes there's loads of housework and gardening, usual things like shopping and looking after pets. Did you find it very different from the UK? has it been hard to find work of any sort? I am thinking of doing voluntary work, to meet people and improve my French any tips?? on making it a easy transition?
