Naturalisation – Taking French Nationality

When I moved over to France some 10 years ago, I wanted to take French citizenship as soon as I could. After divorcing my wife a few years later and enjoying a period of time where I met some very charming young French women, they convinced me that it was pointless. However more recently I’ve been thinking that it would simplify bureaucracy and could make things easier. I would always be English, though I prefer to talk about my Scottish ancestry

I’d like to hear from anybody that’s thinking about becoming a naturalised French citizen or has already taken the plunge!!!!

Cooking – Recipe ideas website

After picking up the name of a cool website from the television, I tried it out and think it’s the best thing since sliced bread…. You know what it’s like, I go into my kitchen in Brittany France and think, what are we going to eat tonight…… errrmmmm it’s so hard!!!!

The idea behind this website is that you don’t browse through recipes to find stuff you can make – instead you type in the stuff you’ve got in the fridge and cupboards and it gives you a list of recipes that you can do based on the ingredients you actually have available!!! Such a simple idea but so useful!

Try it for your selves: www.supercook.com saved my bacon

Working in Brittany France

Just become involved in an exciting new project to comercialise a Sports Memorabilia collection.

I’ve been taken on to produce and promote a website selling signed sports memorabilia. Not being a passionate sporting person myself, it’s fascinating getting involved in this project and learning more about football and cricket than I’ve ever known before. In fact I find myself more and more interested in sporting events thanks to this project.

The website I’m working on is not ‘live’ and is just work in progress at the moment but can be seen at www.signed-sport-memorabilia.com with real products to start going on in the coming couple of weeks.

I’ve ordered a signed David Beckham photo for my step son who is potty about football
