Product Description

Product Description

Imagine setting up a new life, in a warm climate, where everything is cheaper. Sounds like heaven doesn’t it? But is it…?
Here’s a fact. No matter where you are in the world, there will always be something wrong, if you look hard enough.
Andy Frazier moved to France 5 years ago, exchanging his rat-race life in corporate business, for one in a big old farmhouse in a rural little village, along with his partner, a selection of interesting animals and some power-tools. By day, he earns a modest living as a writer. Generally, he is happy.
But often he complains. Sometimes he even rants. Because the whole world is crammed full of annoying things.
This hilarious book is a look at the world around him over a two year period, as Andy has a pop at everything from the red wine and red politics to the price of sandwiches.

This book has been updated and re-edited Feb 2012

Very funny 17 Jan 2012
By Mikey_M
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are some very funny stories in this book.
Some of it is quite random as it mixes monthly life from a farm in France with the authors outrageous opinions and analogies of current affairs. He certainly writes with great wit and satire.

Ex-pat Humour 26 April 2012
By Steve B
Format:Kindle Edition
Another novel by an ex-pat who has penned an hilarious take on life for ex-pats in France. I do find most of these style of books very entertaining, which is what the intentions of the authors were.
Andy's satirical take on life on a French farm might not be to everyone's taste, but I am sure that most ex-pats that do not take themselves too seriously will really enjoy this book as I did. He touches on self-sufficiency, a past-time that many ex-pats partake in when first arriving in France, only to realise that they could end up spending less money by shopping in your local well-stocked supermarket.
Mixing with the locals leads to some strange and funny tales from Andy, but I am sure that they too could tell a few in return about the strange behaviour of many ex-pats that invade their country.
I would recommend this light-hearted read to anyone living in, or thinking of moving to, La Belle France.

I enjoyed this. was free at the time... I think as a paid for one I would have preferred it to be longer. I liked the rants and opinions - if its well written, you dont necessarily have to agree with enerything to enjoy the prose

it reminded me faintly of A Year in Provence some gentle humour.
