My Dordogne Life: A collection of stories about going back to live in rural France.

Stuck in England with a life I didn’t like anymore, I dreamed of going back to live in rural France. But how could I leave my kids? “Mum, what are you waiting for?” said India. “Do it! It’s where you belong, mum!” said Angel. “Don’t worry about us, it’s our home. We’ll come and see you all the time.” But could I really go back and live amongst ghosts of the past? Wasn’t it more like moving backwards instead of forwards? Come with me as I’m lowered into a gigantic cave in a cage, canoe down the River Dordogne, visit the prehistoric cave of Lascaux, interview a nun and chat up a Frenchman. In My Dordogne Life, I share the magic of living in this corner of France. “In the end…we only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.” Lewis Carol.
