My amazon rating is holding up very well in the UK but sliding slightly in the US. This is notwithstanding a charming review by a C. Farley from Bakersfield in California who loves the book. Great taste those Californians. But amazon has paled into insignificance compared with my latest obsession. We are thinking about moving to St Tropez. This is one of those ideas that started as a ridiculous throw-away line and then took on a life of its own.
I have just been for the most glorious walk in the afternoon sun with my faithless hound Wolfie (he has at least three mistresses). The sun was low, the shadows long, the autumn colours warm and golden, the mountains in the distance hazy. I stood at the top of the hill I have pushed all my children up countless times in our old Silver Cross pram, looked over towards our house (see pic) and wondered how I could even think about giving it all up.
We would go to write a book about living there for a year so it wouldn’t be a permanent move. Or would it? Does one ever really come back? And is it good to get out of one’s comfort zone and go for an adventure or just plain mad?
Just plain mad! What would happen to Wolfie?
That is the question…and not an easy one to answer. Whoever rented our house would have to look after him, as well as Max the cat. Anyway, it’s far from decided.
You must do what you want and feel you need to do. I am not convinced you would take to the people there. But you might. AB.
Where you are seems like an enchanting place for the children to grow up. Do you really want to expose them to all of the Eurotrash that hang out on the Rivera?
No, I don’t think we do any more. Thinking about moving made us realise how much we love it here!
