But again not without having the chance to meet the couple first, Will. I am a retired Anglican priest, but I still need a licence from my diocesan bishop to officiate in my home diocese, and permission from the relevant bishop to do so elsewhere, and there are guidelines I'm expected to adhere to. If I officiate at a marriage blessing I'm doing so in the name of the church and can't just do as I please. This is why the original poster is having such problems.

We have a second home just over 6 miles NW of Mortain and spend every summer there. We love the area for all the reasons Catalpa expresses and are so glad we found it. If you want guaranteed sun all summer don't buy in southern Manche, but if you want a beautiful, peaceful area, with lots of history, enough to do and easy access from the UK, I don't think it can be bettered. We always travel Portsmouth to Caen and the journey from the port to our house is well under 2 hours, even in our slow and overloaded camper van. [:)]
Happy house-hunting.

They certainly do get snow in the mountains in Cyprus. I have vivid memories (and photos to prove it) of standing in deep snow in the Troodos mountains in February, in bright sunshine and short sleeves. [:)]

Nope, with you on this, Cendrillon. [:)]

You could try www.afactp.org which is based in southern Manche.

Em, this is a very old thread (2006) you've just posted to, so perhaps the original poster is no longer in France or a member of this forum.

[quote user="Renaud"]I was reading a report about traffic lights being linked so that a car travelling at 30mph gets only green lights. Sounds a good idea, it has been thought of before (Slough in the 60s on the A4). But the idea was killed because the govenrment thought that if people were constantly having to slow down and start up again at traffic lights they would use more fuel and therefore contribute more to the government through petrol tax. S*d the carbon emissions then?[/quote]
I read recently on the BBC news website that this idea is being looked at again and will probably be implemented.

Well, it has been nice recently, but if it's any consolation it's been raining all day here in Mid-Wales, sweet 17, and the forecast for the next few days is rain all the way. [:(] The place to be at the moment is Northern Scotland, which is having lovely, warm, sunny weather according to friends who live up on the north coast.

It may be all well and good trying to find fuel, but with a barrel of oil reaching 135$ this afternoon an all time high, will you be able to afford it in the weeks to come? [/quote]
Good point, Baz. We're in rural Mid-Wales at the moment, where diesel is £1.29 a litre and rising. Being on a limited income, we already think carefully whether a particular journey is necessary (it's a 12 mile round trip to the nearest tiny town for a reasonably priced supermarket) and we find ourselves going out noticeably less frequently in recent months.

The route has now been published on the France-Ouest website and it looks like it's passing very close to Cuves in the See valley. See:

anyone recommend the Var region as a place to live?
