Lived a few different lives by this point. Studied Art and Design and practiced those and Architecture. Used to live in the UK. Not done that for over twenty years now. Came to France, West.
Currently practice fine Art which includes painting, drawing and three dimensional work, from a studio at the top of the house here!
Semi retired after a transplanted kidney a number of years back, done in France!
Still enjoy all the things of life yet at a wiser more mature pace, and more civilised then maybe the UK nowadays!
My French is still rubbish yet I give it a go. My life partner is French as are two of my cats, a third is Brighton British, or was!
