French Dreams Dogs And A Dodgy Motor

"This light-hearted tale describes how two ex-council house kids fulfilled their dream of owning a holiday home in France, something they never thought possible as they started out on life together as a young couple with two small children and not much money to survive on. Hard work, study and a determination to fulfil a long-held dream eventually became a reality when a computer search led to the discovery and purchase of their much loved mountain property. Follow Jane and Rob on their journey through a mosaic of early memories, anecdotes, observations and funny stories. As they travelled back and forth from their home in the UK to the Alpes de Haute Provence, their journeys over the years have provided a rich source of material, from a weird encounter with strangers on a ferry to the trouble dogs can get you into. Jane brings to life these and other experiences, introduces residents and neighbours and peppers her tale with facts and vivid descriptions of the area, making you want to pack your bags and see it for yourself!"--Publisher.
