Francie Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 A few of mine and I have recently purchase a house just west of St Affrique near Le Truel in the South Aveyron (12). My friend moved from Sheffield to live down there at Easter with my help. I am spending as much time as possibly down there for now and will move full time at the end of February. As yet we have met no other expats in our area. We would like to get together with others in our area. We are keen foodies and love to entertain at home, visit friends for food or eat out. Otherwise we have wide interests including music (keen concert goers), reading, gardening, movies and travel. We are also keen dog owners and are very proud of our rescue (re-homed) German shepherd dog called Kimber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Has no one moved to the South West in the last 2 months? I suppose that it is a quiet time for house moving? I see more British number plates all the time. French News or Connexions reported that 60% of all house sales to foreigners are now to the British (followed by Holland and Belgium, well down at approx 10%). Presumably the Germans are buying houses in Eastern Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is holiday time and the time for those old uninsured wrecks to come out of the barns for use during the holidays.French News or Connexions reported that 60% of all house sales to foreigners are now to the British (followed by Holland and Belgium, well down at approx 10%). and you believe anything the connexion says? Question, how do they know?Presumably the Germans are buying houses in Eastern Europe?No they have bought Majorca[:)] Much more sensible than buying 4 walls and a pile of stones in France[:D][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm very much a "softie" southerner, and we always said that boys were "frogs and snail and puppy dog tails"Perhaps it's not so much a north/south thing, but depends more on the who first taught it to you. But girls were always "sugar and spice and all things nice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
