Thank you for your patience

Some of you may remember my last post of 2025: “Due to some health challenges I’ve had we needed to make some decisions with our day to day life, and one is for me to make a little pause on the blog.”

Well, things have improved since then, and I’ve really missed writing our French Adventure blogs. So I’m happy to say I’m ready to pick up the pen (mouse) again.

It has been a chilly start to the year. We’ve been experiencing temperatures around -9°c, which brought with it about 6” of snow. We had some friends arrive just as the cold weather was drawing in, and they had a little bit of a hairy trip from the motorway to ours, negotiating the freshly snowed roads that were already a bit icy beneath.

For the next couple of days we enjoyed cooking together, sharing recipes, eating together, chats in front of the fire, and tasting the local bubbles whilst playing board games and trivia. There was also time to just quietly sit and read a book, enjoying one of Brian’s delicious cups of coffee.

Their time with us went so quickly, but gave us a moment to reflect on the year that had just passed, and wish for hope and harmony in 2026.

We wish you all a very happy new year, and can’t wait to start sharing our adventure with you all again.

We have lots of exciting new adventures to look forward to in 2026 which we would love to share with you, and some projects along the way of which we want to start and some still to finish. I will once again blog about our adventures and let you enjoy our experiences together. It may not be a daily blog to start with, but little by little I’ll get there.
