It’s been a while! (Update)

On our way to a wedding which is happening tomorrow near Clermont Ferrand. We thought it was time to do a well over due update of our life in France. The tv programme that we refer to in the video is allo allo Brits In France, Series 1 episode 2 and it was broadcast on Channel Five last year but should be available on catch up.

Hi both, thank you so much for the mention. Hope you had a lovely day out at the wedding. By what you are saying, driving in France is a pleasure unlike the UK, roads always full of traffic, road works and diversions all the time, pot hole everywhere, vehicles cutting you up etc. as for the Uk weather, just a couple of days in a year we get the sun and the bloody government start talking about hose pipe bans.🙄. Retirement age can't come soon enough for me, then It will be France here we come.. Look forward to your next video, bye for now . Taffy.

To be honest with you whilst the roads in general are much better than the UK regarding amount of traffic and even road surfaces we have to say that unfortunately there are still idiots on the road just like anywhere. Most of the French definitely change behind the wheel and we’ve had a few near misses over the last two and a half years. But it’s really strange that as a pedestrian and cycle rider they treat you with respect and give you a real wide berth.
