AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR FAMILY!

I thought I would start my first blog with an intro to my family with pics to back it up! I have lived in France for 8 years now with my son Joshy, having bought a beautiful 'chocolate box' style longere for Gite rental in another beautiful town nearby called La Gacilly, for those of you who may be interested, have a look at my website http://www.farmhousegites.com (will be doing a blog on my house soon). I am extremely happy here along with my love of gardening, reading, walking, photography and the computer.


Joshy and I moved to the beautiful medieval town of Josselin to be with and live with my partner Keith, we have lived in our rented house all together for 4 months now and loving it! Its great cos its only 2 minutes walk into the centre of town this is a real novelty to us, as we had both lived in the countryside before and needed a car - bit fattening though as its too easy to nip to the bakers every day!!!

Keith has lived here in France for 6 years, a little bit less then me, his interests when he is not working, is reading, writing, walking, computer and keeping his popular online diary up to date - now if you are feeling down and would like your spirits lifted or would just like to read a very interesting diary of an Englishman in France log on to http://www.bretondiary.com. a very worthwhile read!


Joshy is a very happy and content little boy living here in France, in fact he doesn't know any different really, as he started school here when he was nearly 5, so of course speaks French with no accent whatsoever - totally bi-lingual - doesn't it just make you sick! Keith and I will always have an accent! He adores his LEGO I will be doing a blog on him and his LEGO fairly soon.



Our 2 cats Sammy and Cindy are brother and sister, nearly 10 years old, they are lucky, they don't have a problem with the language! They are such laid back, lazy fat cats (Sammy that is - sorry Cindy didn't mean you) as long as they can get some attention, be fed and go to sleep they are happy! Its a novelty to Cindy at the moment sitting on the windowsill watching people and cars going by, she just cant make it out after being in the countryside!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello I am Jilly, welcome to my Blog! You may well ask why I am called LUST IN BRITTANY! Well, I thought it was the best way to sum up my passion for my life in this beautiful part of France and everything that goes with it - be it the gentle pace of life, the friendly French, the space, the ambience and of course the wine!

Please follow my blog as I will be blogging hopefully 2 - 3 times a week. I intend to tell you about things that are very passionate to me, my utmost love is flowers and I will be keeping a journal of my garden from growing my plants from seed to them being planted and showing themselves off in all their glory! I will also be talking about my family and what we are up to, along with lots of pics to back up what I will be blogging about. Please feel free to respond to any of my postings, in fact I would love that as I would like to have a very active blog going and exchange ideas, perhaps even seeds etc.!! I look forward to talking to a lot of you on this great site! A bien tot!
