Please enjoy some more photography from our travels in Provence. They compliment my French travel writing and these are available on Amazon including Kindle Unlimited. Hope you enjoy and you are all keeping safe and ready to travel again for real.
My passion is writing about travel and particularly French travel. I have traveled extensively in France and wine and food has always featured on my travels and now in my books. My friends always await our return from France with the latest new finds from the vineyards and I was more than happy to keep sampling. I am from Lancashire in the north of England but have now relocated to Somerset (nearer to France) and able to enjoy devoting my time to writing and new discoveries.
France came late to me as a destination, in fact so conservative was my travel upbringing that it was a long time before I even ventured to Cornwall. I have more than made up for the slow start and have enjoyed helping many others with their travel plans to France and especially to Paris and Provence.
I have written a series of four books on France - Three are now on Amazon:THE FIRST TIME WE SAW PARIS about our first steps in French Travel, THYME FOR PROVENCE our discovery of that glorious region and the people and places we met and discovered, A DREAM OF PARIS a personal memoir of our times in Paris with friends.
France has been fun, we have been burgled on our very first arrival, we discovered the best cafe that changed our travel lives on the very next day, we learnt about French wine, we escaped from the most horrendous gite, we found the best of gites, B & B's and people, we laughed and cried with dear friends in Paris, I was hosed down by a crazy owner to cool me down in Provence, our breakfast in a remote village was served by the French army, we stepped totally out of our comfort zone and discovered the best of French culture. The experiences are varied and many and please come with me as I retell the stories and my footsteps are there to follow.
I am also writing about ancestry and genealogy and my first book about our incredible family story themed around war and the military is now on Amazon - A BULLET FOR LIFE.
I love the English game of cricket, golf, soccer, photography, walking and cooking. Oh, and travel of course.

Happy days Neal, and great photos. Our future travels are likely to be the vineyards of Kent, Sussex and Norfolk, coupled with visiting every English Heritage site around them. You might be interested in a set of short videos I found today about wines in Languedoc here https://imbibe.com/news/online-occitanie-wine-school-launches/ and …. Happy New Year to you and yours. B.
Thank you Brian, yes I do hope this year is a much better one for you and your family – and everyone. I shall work my way through the videos – they look interesting and will no doubt bring back memories. I think France for us is out until 2021 so probably Suffolk, Devon, Cornwall and visits North to see family and friends – if all works out of course. Cooking Bouillabaisse today and have a Vouvray from a domain we visited – you do feel you deserve a treat just now. Neal
Sounds very good – I have fond memories of a Nepalese restaurant in Broadstairs I went to with a colleague on a business trip to Hornby railways. A different cuisine to Indian and a very enjoyable evening.

My wife cooked an enormous Nepali curry today with side dishes. Just couldn’t face another Sprout, Parsnip or Roastie!

Duffy to find a matching wine, so we settled on a Three Choirs Classic Cuvee Sparkler
