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!

This weekend... Cooking and Wearing
Yesterday I made the Roasted Pumpkin and Wild Mushroom Tart from February Country Living. Wow, it was good! j Today I wore Emma's silver bird to church and it was much admired. I even managed to explain her silver clay technique in French (I think!).
Have to agree with Autumn Mist- no pumpkin here except in run up to hallowe'en- and you daren't leave it too close to hallowe'en either! Also impressed at your cooking from February CL- haven't seen it around here yet either!

Mmm, that tart does look good. I'll be looking for the recipe when the magazine arrives in our library.
Hi Floss, Sounds like a delightful (and delicious) day! January blessings to you! :)
Ooo that does sound good - I like the combination - rather unusual! xxx
