I'm a happily married mum of two boys, aged 17 and 19, and as a family we moved to France eleven years ago. My husband works for a French company, I teach English to French people aged 6 - 60, and English reading and writing to the English-speaking children of the area. We are part of an English speaking church in Lyon. I love to shop for French vintage lace, fabric and household items, and to combine them with my British and global treasures in interesting ways.
Thanks for coming over to my British-meets-French Vintage blog! Please leave a comment - I love to hear from anyone who takes the time to read my posts, and I try to pop back and visit your blogs whenever I can.

Reality Check
I am not a perfect mother or housewife. There is dog hair under the sofa and the boys eat with their elbows on the table, however much they're nagged. I just assume you'd rather see the pretty stuff!

'Twas on a Saturday morning
...that Dr Strangelove invaded my sewing area...
Actually, I encouraged Ben to set up his heated mats and lights on timer switches there, because it gets a lot of natural light too. He's got tomatoes and goodness knows what other veg getting off to an early start there.
That sounds really nice. I'm an American animation artist and graphic novel writer and have been thinking that the tranquility of that area of France would be a nice change. Maybe I should consider teaching at some point. Ha, my mother would love that:)
