All fired up

Temperatures outside were low today, around 10°c, and although Brian was keen to get back to the staircase we decided we needed to focus on another important subject, our application to register to live in France. We have been here now for just over three months, and I think because we are doing lots of different things around the house our time has really flown by. The uk.gov post Brexit website is a great source of information for what’s needed to live in France. However, now the french online portal is open and working we now know exactly what information is needed, and in what format, for us to submit the application. I’m hoping that we will have everything we need to submit our application in the next couple of weeks. It’s then a case of waiting for our submission to be processed and the French prefecture in our area to advise us of our next steps. It’s surprising how long it takes to bring everything together and ensure it’s submitted correctly to save any delays.

This evening we are enjoying an early sit down in front of the fire with a cup of earl grey tea. It’s quiet, with just the crackle of the embers and the red glow of the flames flickering, oozing with warmth. It’s ‘toad in the hole’ for tea. Don’t you just love those cold Autumn evenings.
