In Episode 153, you’ll be spending the afternoon (4 hours cut down to a manageable 23-minutes size!) in the studio with Deborah. I’ll answer some of the questions you’ve sent over the months about what I’m doing up there on the top floor!

Would you enjoy a village life in France? Our lifestyle channel shares our version of frugal retirement and a balanced life. Mainly for over-40s, over-50s & over-60s, our episodes include normal daily events, artistic endeavours with both Deborah and Mark, occasional visits to historic French villages-towns-landmarks, and some cycling and ‘outdoorsy things’ with Mark.

After moving permanently to France from Australia in 2016, American-born Deborah and British-born Mark now enjoy lower stress and a happy life in beautiful northwest France.

We’re young-at-heart artists and artisans, designers, photographers. Deborah has a background in writing, editing, journalism, and psychology. Mark spent decades in the building trades, so we’re serial renovators of run-down houses in the USA, Australia, and now France. Mark is also a very talented artist and creator.

We have lots of plans for the upcoming months and years, so why not join us!
