I’m a Londoner of a certain age, tolerated by my wife, Frederique (refugee from Lyon) for a good few years with two wonderful independent daughters.
My most treasured possessions are my iPad and a fully functioning liver. I carry them both wherever I go.
Frederique and I decided to relocate to Provence around three years ago and now spend about 8 months of the year in the Var, bizarrely migrating north to London, for the winter.
The plan is to have a regular, slightly quirky commentary on what I find strange, funny and downright odd about my fellow Provençaux. Living amongst them in their natural habitat and observing.
I will post a regular update on www.englishmaninprovence.com, you can also follow me on Twitter and instagram.
