This is set to be a big month – even bigger than normal. Not only is is Christmas, which we will be spending with our family in England (more of that in another post), but we also have Joe’s birthday and the first anniversary of us living here in Foussais-Payre.

So there is lots to organise and lots to do, with not really very much time left to do it in. However, in this week I shall try to write every day in the run-up to our one-year anniversary. So much has changed over the last twelve months and we have achieved such a lot, it’s a good time to look back and reflect over our time here and how different things are.

On another note, you will now find each post has a “Listen now” button. Clicking this will allow you to sit back and listen to a nice american man reading that post to you. It’s not perfect but I thought I’d give it a try as an alternate way for folks to consume my ramblings. If you want to subscribe to the blog as a podcast using this feature, just click the “Odiogo” button in the right-hand column and follow the instruction there.

Any thoughts on this or anything else, as usual, just leave a comment!
