Updates...

July 2026

Given that I'm fairly useless at keeping a blog updated, I'm hoping this page will be easier to manage! Please check back in regularly for the latest news from rural France.

With most of my writing now passing through aviation and copywriting agencies, it's becoming more and more difficult to show my recent work, especially when I've signed confidentiality agreements. But when I can, I'll discuss it here...

On the home page, I've added a gallery of some of my published magazine articles, saving the gallery on this page for photos from my travels. Next stop is Toulouse, once the weather cools a little, as I've got an upcoming article to write on the amazing Aeroscopia. The lovely ladies at the Médiathèque in Confolens have reserved a book on the museum for me, so I'll be picking that up next week to start planning my trip. Super excited! 

Keep an eye out for my new series of articles starting in French Property News too. Now that the Commune Life and Working Life series have both finished, I've just been given the green light for another six articles on a different aspect of life in France. The theme will be revealed in the first article, due to be published in the Nov/Dec issue, so take a peek in the shops from mid-October onwards.

Take care in this crazy heatwave, everyone... and be sure to cheer on England in the Norway match tonight!
