Rural Brittany: a fine family home, fully restored.
Unique and historic. Now the French holiday home of Jon, Amanda, Harry and Ben.
 

Our house in France
has now been sold. We’ll miss it.



In 2008 I wrote a book about living in this marvellous place. The Field by the River was published by Anova in softback, hardback and for Kindle. You can read reviews of the book here and some extracts from it, below, describe the wonderful life that’s all around this magic spot.

• Animal intelligence,
• The adventure of the five white bulls.
• Rough sex down by the river.
• Alzheimer’s disease has stolen my great friend.
