Product Description
In 2003 a lovely 200 year old stone cottage called Laurie, sitting in 4000 square metres or one acre of the Dordogne was bought by an English family. It changed their life completely and brought them joy and pain in equal measure, and in particular the husband and author of the book Ian Burgess.<br><br>The book traces their first tentative steps into foreign property ownership, the happy years in the middle and then in total honesty and candour the tragedy of a long marriage breaking up. Life starts again for the author when he moves to Laurie to get away from the pain of divorce for a few months, and ends up living the French dream in all its glory for three wonderful years!<br><br>The book is funny, touching and heart warming and sets off at a pace that never lets up. It also gives valuable tips, information and advice to would be house hunters in France and those who just love to dream about one day leaving UK to live abroad. Covering a six year period in nigh on 70,000 words from search and purchase, to eventual sale and au revoir France for a new life in the Far East this book is a winner.<br><br>
