Dreamers Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 We have taken early retirement and are living at Frayssinet le Gelat (46250),whilst we have a small house built at Mercues (appears to be a lengthy construction !). Both in our 50's,my wife is 'suffering' a little with the isolation having been busy as a 'Palliative Care' nurse until we took the plunge.Would like to meet others in the area just for reassuring chats over coffee or lunch now and again. We hope to involve ourselves with the 'locals' as much as able, but still would like the odd chat in ones own tongue !!! Any takers please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi there! We moved to Marminiac (about 20 mins. from you) last June.Both in our 50's - Mike was made redundant in 2002 and I was working full-time as an Education Welfare Officer, so I know what your wife is feeling - especially if she worked in a team. We're doing up an old village house here. I'd love to meet up with your wife for a coffee sometime if she wants.Tel. 05 65 22 87 13.Gillian King.
