French Letters – George East
A warm, funny and genuine insight into an English's couples experiences while renovating their property in Northern France. He gives an open, honest and heart-warming account of life in France, which includes the countryside, the eccentric and loveable locals, and the food. He cleverly introduces us to potential pitfalls of living in a foreign land and offers lots of excellent advice, beautifully wrapped in lots of great adventures! George East and his wife Donella are now living half-way up what passes as a mountain in the Finistere department of Brittany. Along with four chickens, two goats, Lupin the werecat and Milly the collie-cross, the couple are embedded in a hamlet with a population of just 11, which nestles at the bottom of a track leading up to hundreds of acres of moorland and granite crags.
