Yes, we plan to work there. My husband and I both have the kind of jobs where all you need is a laptop and internet connection - and of course we'll be doing the whole B&B thing, which long-term will hopefully mean I can hang up my laptop for good (apart from blogging, of course!) :-) .-= Alice at Simply The Nest´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.simplythenest.com/journal/2010/1/22/light-and-airy-notting-hill-home.html" rel="nofollow">Light And Airy Notting Hill Home</a> =-.

It's great to 'meet' people doing a similar thing to us; France in 2014 sounds great. Are your plans to work there? if you don't mind me asking! @Alice thanks for dropping by.

Are your plans to work there? if you don’t mind me asking!

Instead, I look in the fridge and think 'hmm, what can I make with the ingredients I already have'. Also, I do all my food shopping online - fruit, veg, meat, fish and bread from Abel and Cole, and everything else from Ocado (they have a Tesco price-match on pretty much everything). So in addition to saving time, there is no temptation to buy those little extras! Oh, and I buy wine in bulk from Tesco whenever they have a half price deal :-) My husband and I live in Manchester with our two adorable Jack Russells, but we have a plan to move to the south of France by 2014 - so I'm very happy to have discovered this blog and will be checking in regularly to see how guys are getting on! .-= Alice at Simply The Nest´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.simplythenest.com/journal/2010/1/21/recipe-for-lobster-thermidor.html" rel="nofollow">Recipe For Lobster Thermidor</a> =-.
