I live in France and itโs not perfect by any means but when I drive off the ferry in Dover Iโm so sad to see how shabby England looks. I know there are wonderful places but first impressions mean a lot.

Sorry Twitter but I just need to be a bit of a show off. This the first new kitchen Iโve ever had. Almost finished just need new lights and grouting around the fire.

Quite right too. Look at the little fella in his kit. All he wanted was a smile or a high five would have made his day. I thought

The same could be said for enclaves in France or Spain who have large majority of English immigrants who havenโt integrated or even tried to speak the language

So how is your Spanish. Iโve lived in France for 3 years and can communicate on a day to day level but if I had to discuss the intricacies a football match I would need a translator. Maybe itโs the same for Marcelo.

So sorry for you loss Nicky. I have some of my mothers furniture here in France. When I open the drawers it reminds me of the sound of her getting ready in the mornings when I was younger. No matter how old you are the memories linger on.

Had a lovely morning coffee with my Scottish and French neighbours. We nattered in French for 90 mins with some English when required. My French neighbour said Iโve improved so much. Feeling very pleased with myself. I also made mince pies!!

You are pathetic. People like you are the reason so many of us feel ashamed to be English today. Oh yes and by the way if St George came over today he would have been removed as an illegal Turkish immigrant to Rwanda.

This was taken 6 years ago at my nephews wedding. I was about to move to France Martin was still in KL and my daughter was just about to finish her chemo treatment. Difficult time for us all.

My little Cleo has been missing since we left on Friday. My french neighbour has been searching for her! In the end she asked me to record my voice calling her. She came running after 10 seconds. Obviously hiding. Phew.

Daughter just told me itโs going to cost her ยฃ450 pm for TWO days nursery (with early drop off/late pick up one day). How the hell can people afford to work and pay for childcare?

Thanks every for your good wishes. Iโm going home. Had a TGA or memory backup and high blood pressure (unusual for me). Need rest and check bp. Thank goodness this happened in France and not when I was driving down the M1 yesterday!

Exactly many are highly qualified and would be such an asset to this country or any country just sad people canโt see past their colour.

How can the richest country in the world treat the sick and dying like this. The UK has massive problems but at least we have a fighting chance with our nhs. Also in France if you have a illness such as cancer all treatment is free.

This is in a town near me in France. Tiny houses for working 18-35 year olds. Rent โฌ428 pm everything included. Good idea and maybe the UK government should do this?
