Living the dream
A couple from Manchester have said they are 'living like millionaires' after buying a village in France - for the price of a semi-detached property back home.
"It wasn’t until Covid came and we were on this furlough and we realised we were in a rat race and life was passing us by. We realised we hadn't spent much time with the kids and we decided we had to do something to change all our lives. “Both me and Dave had done French in school but not for years, the only way was to immerse yourself here. We’re conversational now, we pick things up while chatting."
Dave said: “Some people decided to buy a dog during Covid but we decided to move to a different country. We were amazed at what we could get for our house price in Manchester, we could get a hamlet. “In Manchester I could do the lawn in ten minutes. We've got two pools as well. The wildlife is insane around us too. We have to stop for deer and wild boars while you’re doing the school run, not other cars.”
