Funny old world

You may enjoy reading an article in the Telegraph yesterday by Michael Wright who lives in the Limousin, " Disillusionment comes home to la France profonde"
The French are fed up of political scandals and apparently his French friends in Paris are packing up and moving to Australia.
Seems quite amusing to me as we have spent an afternoon hosting a get together of  Australians who have emigrated to France for a better way of life. If you recall the interview with the immobilier, one of the nationalities at the top of the list buying houses here was Australian. Funny old world.

Following  on , Alison says   Ian and I did not move to France for a better life - we had (and will have in the future) a great quality of life in Western Australia. Our 2 reasons for moving to France (never permanently) are that, firstly - we wished to do more travelling and WA is so far from Europe and costly. The second reason is that we relished the challenge of living in a foreign country, learning their language and experiencing a different way (and quality) of life. We love living in France but will never lose our affinity with and love for the Australian way of life. 
Alison and Ian
