Going native

Hi, Brian here. I don’t normally write the blogs, that’s something that Jo enjoys too much to interfere in, but there is one thing I’ve been wanting to talk about for a little while now. Since moving to France we have obviously encountered many differences to our lives in the UK. Some are related to the quality, abundance or dearth of everyday purchases that we once took for granted, or had become used to, whilst others are more clearly cultural. At first these differences felt strange, or surprising, but after even a short time you start to find that they become easier, and you find yourself adopting new ways without question. Here are a few ways I’ve noticed that Jo has begun to merge with her new surroundings.

Parking…

…attention to security…

…dressing appropriately in 20°c heat!
