We're living the dream!

We live in France, in a nice house with more rooms than we need for most of the year, but on occasion, those rooms are filled with visiting friends and family.
Our property comprises 28 acres (11 hectares). Half of the land is grassland for the horses and garden and half woodland - which provides us with fuel for winter and posts etc for fencing.

We have a growing collection of animals - 1 Belgian Malinois, 5 horses (the reason for our move), 2 cats (non-specific breed), 2 chickens, 1 rooster, a 'bantle' of fish and lately, we have new arrivals - 4 chicks and 5 ducks which hatched in our incubators.

Our lives have changed from stressed to blissfully peaceful (if still busy as ever).

Moving kit and caboodle from England to France has been an epic journey, filled with health issues and other stresses, but we are finally getting into our stride.

We had a new deck built early this year and we're enjoying the views from the vantage point of our 'Skydeck'. The vista is awe-inspiring.

We seem to have got to a place where we're close to an 'even keel' kind of situation, where work and play is becoming more balanced and we're finally getting to grips with the language (me not so much, but @s0u1 is certainly getting there now).

I'm adding a few pictures with descriptions to reintroduce the new life we've chosen.

Thanks for reading, more updates and pictures of the animals soon :)
