Learn French Online


It has just been announced that France will come o It has just been announced that France will come out of the current 'lockdown' on 3 May 😃 🎉🇫🇷. On this exact day last year I was in the attic, aka my studio, where I was recording the first of several online sketch workshops, something I never (ever) planned to do... 😳 
I found it a huge challenge with a really steep learning curve!! New equipment, new technology, new isolation! 
Running a small business, the pandemic has completely changed the way I work - and it's still very unclear how the rest of this year will pan out (which makes it very hard to plan ahead - and I do like a plan!) 
What has been your lockdown challenge, and have you adapted your business to overcome it?

Moving to France ... with a dog 🐾🇫🇷 As yo Moving to France ... with a dog 🐾🇫🇷
As you may have guessed, I love France ... and I love hounds (Weimaraners especially 😍) Moving to France from the UK I thought that all I needed was a rabies stamp in a pet passport and there would be nothing else to worry about. 
As it turns out, there are many other things to be aware of when bringing a furbaby to France ... bugs, diseases and hairy beasties to name but a few.  I wrote a blog about it https://lafranglaise.com/moving-to-france-with-a-dog - if you'd like to have a read 🙂

New logo New dates New location! I've just update New logo New dates New location! 
I've just updated the logo for the Cancer Support France Activity for Life 2021. The event this year is the 'Garonne Challenge' in September for both walkers, cyclists - even fun runners! 🚴‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂🏃
One way or another I have been involved with this event since 2015 when the first cycle ride took place in Languedoc. It's my way of supporting an amazing charity that helps English speakers in France - and their families.
Do support the event if you can, either by sharing this post, taking part (it's good fun!), or making a donation to CSF via their website http://www.cancersupportfrance.org 😊

I was recently looking through some files and came I was recently looking through some files and came across this lovely note from Leeanne @twilightdogshome.  Whilst they were helping all those hounds the Twilight website needed a bit of rescuing too 🤗 so I helped them move it over to Wordpress and gave it a brighter new look. 

The Twilight Retirement Home for Dogs has seen more than 300 dogs pass through its gates and has inspired many people to welcome an old or disabled dog into their life. This family home in France is an oasis of love and tranquillity where the old, sick, lame and unwanted come to spend their final years, months or days, ensuring a dog’s last memory is always of being loved ❤️ If you would like to support them in their amazing work, you can make a donation via the website https://twilightchiens.com

LOOK UP! � I was going to post a business tip to LOOK UP!
�
I was going to post a business tip today - after the past 12 months I think many people are feeling frayed and frazzled. We've also spent a lot of time looking down at screens, so if you are feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, stressed or just fed up - look up - and look at the sky. 

💚 It helps you feel more awake (weird but true)
💚 It exercises your vision
💚 It gives you a moment of mindfulness
💚 It reminds you of the bigger picture
💚 It opens your mind to endless possibilities

Looking at the sky seems to help me stay focused and gives me time to think. 
So it is a business tip (of sorts!). What helps you keep your business mind on track?

This was FUN! #repost @sarahwhitephotos Now for s This was FUN!  #repost @sarahwhitephotos Now for some previews from my second gorgeous virtual shoot yesterday!

Annette is an extremely talented artist, living in the South of France and, amongst other things, delivering online classes.

This shoot (taken in stages throughout the afternoon), was so much fun and very eventful! So much colour and creative flair - I absolutely loved it! The only thing better would have been being there in person!

Thank you so much Annette, and to your husband too for all his help and for coping so well with being chased by geese! 💛

Languedoc is said to have 300 days of sunshine a y Languedoc is said to have 300 days of sunshine a year - but recently we've been getting a lot of the other 65! 🌧  This gloom does not help anyone's mood but it's not all bad news ... I popped into our village boulangerie and there was a beautiful range of fresh patisseries on offer 🍰  the new trees are being planted alongside our local stretch of the Canal du Midi 🌱 it's almost the end of the shortest month of the year 🕑  and the clocks spring forward next month. It's also a Gotcha Day for a special grey hound - 8 years ago today 🐾 😍
