Tiens! Bonjour Tout Le Monde,
I have decided I do not want to experience another Welsh Winter...
largely because I'm not sure I could survive it.
So, I'm going to move to France...if they will let me in.
My "shopping List" is:-
i) Must be warm - I want to re-experience a lovely still, warm, fragrant, evening.
I would prefer Not to ever again, see Hydrogen Oxide crystals on roads...or even a blade of grass.
But...I'm willing to negotiate.
ii) I would like to be able to walk, to see the Sea - any Sea.
In my advanced state of age, and rigour mortis, that means a matter if inches rather than kilometres.
Since I have never managed to learn to drive appropriately, and safely
on The Left, I find it inconceivable that I will ever be able to learn to drive on The Right.
It would be dangerous to other road-users.
iii) I would like a garden. Being an old Radnorshire guy (S'Ok, nobody's ever heard of it), I would ideally like a small field. But only one.
iv) Internet Access is essential.
Without Spam, how will I know I'm not on my own in the Universe?
That's it really.
Quand j'etais etudiant, on m'est oblige de travailler une vaccance a C.E.R.N., a Grenoble.
I liked it very much there, but I didn't like being so close to high energy neutrons...
So I gave up Nuclear Physics and chose something more likely to give me a decent life-span.
I chose Music. ( Yes! That was one of many serious blunders to follow later...hmm...)
I've cashed in my life and realised a sum of...erm...cash!
I do not need benefits or work permit etc.
I speak French tolerably well, but effrayant.
I'm confident it will get better with "exposure" ...but Not to anymore radiation - if that's Ok with you?
I think it wise, at first, to rent a home and see how I get on.
(Why are you laughing?).
Probably a good idea to "be there" and look around from there.
Do they have Morriston's in France - or something vaguely, remotely similar?
Should anyone feel fool-hardy, or kindly, enough to share your thoughts with me...and reply, I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Avec mes sentiments, les plus sinceres,
Vesalius.
