Janine Marsh takes a day trip to France to pick up some cheap wine. A few hours later, she returns to England, having put in an offer on a rickety old barn in the rural Seven Valleys area of Pas-de-Calais. Giving up her job in London, she moves to France with her husband in order to enjoy the good life there - or so she hopes... Between getting to grips with the locals and LA VIE FRANCAISE, and renovating the dilapidated abode, she starts to realise that there's a lot more to her new home than she could ever have imagined.
About the Author
Janine Marsh is an award winning travel writer and editor of the Good Life France Magazine. She was born in and lived in London all her life until one day she had an epiphany that turned into a dream which then turned into a whole new life...
This momentous event occurred when she went on a day trip to France to buy wine for her Dad and ended up buying an abandoned, bargain bucket farmhouse for less than a Hermès Birkin bag. It became a dream to renovate the hovel which had dirt floors and no real rooms and came with a random sheep in the garden. She longed to one day live in it and, to her surprise and thanks to a bit of blackmail, that dream came true sooner than she imagined.
She writes about life in France, her adventures and discovery of a whole new culture, numerous pets and travels around France on her blog www.thegoodlifefrance.com
