Before the door slams shut we want our French adventure....
So from spring 2017, for a year at least, we are looking for the following...
A basic rental house.... we're pretty hardy so one big room with a fireplace would be a starting point.
A workspace.... barn/shed/leanto that I can put forge and other creative stuff in.
Veg garden.... not huge, just a plot.
Where... weirdly enough, one of our parameters is being within a reasonable drive of a good Roller Derby League! Proximity to Nantes is a possible, although western france overall appeals.
We're busy looking in all the usual places... Leboncoin etc, but just a thought... Does anyone on here have such a space that we could use? In exchange for Money or Work? (I'm an electrician, and reasonably capable with wood, masonry, plumbing, metal). I also work as an artist's model. So helping at some sort of art venue could work.
Or perhaps you know of a nearby empty property which might suit?
Suggestions, ideas, whatever please.
Thanks
Dee and Anita |

Whilst I hope that doors won't actually totally shut, it's bound to get a whole lot more complicated. Before Brexit I was, in effect, a European citizen, no-one acted as gatekeeper, and there were reciprocal arrangements for heathcare, work, tax... whatever. If the majority will has its way then at some point uncontrolled freedom of movement will end. People already established in their adopted countries will, most likely, continue with those rights... but after some, as yet undefined point, there is a chance, maybe even a likelihood that future relocation for more than a holiday will require visas, proof of income, health insurance etc. Much in the same way as for example US citizens living in France.
As it happens, Anita is considering retirement in spring next year. So that sets a possible timescale. Even if article 50 is triggered soon, we would hopefully have 18 months of our European citizenship left by then.
Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but If we wait to see what happens first, it may be too late.
