10yrs in the Limousin now looking to move to PO.

Post by PaulJ »

Hello everyone
My names Paul.I'm from Warrington,Cheshire.My wife Marie,from Leigh,Lancashire,and I have lived in the Limousin for the past 10 yrs.
We both absolutely love the PO.The climate,the way of life,the Catalan spirit,rugby league...You name it!
For the first 7yrs or so I had a business installing Fosse Septiques and general building renovation.
2yrs ago I decided to give it a rest and scale down.
I have recently re-registered as property maintenance and we'll be spending the winter down here this year hopefully with a view to a permanent move.
I'm really looking forward to spending a prolonged period here.
Great site you have!!

Hi everyone,
I am Paul's other half Marie.
After being regular visitors to this part of France, we are indeed looking to re-locate to this beautiful region.
The site is absolutely brilliant ! A wealth of information!
Looking forward to participating on the forum and learning more about the Catalan way of life!

Thanks Marie. Glad you enjoy the site.
Lots of adventures ahead of you. One of the great things about this area is that it hasn't really been 'tamed' yet like so many of the southern tourist regions. There are still loads of ancient ruins, castles, churches, fabulous uncharted walks, heritage and culture that haven't really made it into the guide books, haven't been coralled off and turned into paying attractions, loads of free events, stunning scenery.. Fantastic place to live....and I say that at the moment from the depths of Yorkshire where I have been for a few weeks. Love Yorkshire where I was born - but the PO always feels like going home.

So looking forward to it all Kate! Your last phrase "The PO always feels like going home" says such a lot! Feeling 'giddy ' ;-)

Hi Marie. My internet has been down all day but just would like to say welcome. You wont regret moving to this area, I think Kate has said it all and coming home is exactly how we felt when coming on holiday. I am sure you and Paul will be extremely happy here.
