I live, with my husband, Peter, in the centre of Brittany. Pempoulrot is just about in the back of beyond. We moved here almost exactly three years ago. We are still renovating the house and developing the garden. We are also renovating the stone barn next to the house to give us accomodation for residential courses (staring later in 2007 we hope).
We run a bookshop - le Chat qui lit, although most of our sales are now of French books on the internet.
We have numerous animals. Four cats who come live in the house (there are others who don't come in). Pixel is the oldest, and came with us from England. He enjoys the sunshine in the summer and the woodburning stove in the winter.
Milly is the other cat we brought over from the UK. She just revels in the space and wildlife (mainly for hunting).
She likes to pose for the camera.
Hugh (Fearnly-Whittingstall) and Monty (Don - the garden cats) were just kittens when we moved here. Their mother (called Ma) is black and we have never been able to get near enough to her to touch her.
Hugh quickly realised that life as a house cat was infinately preferable to that of garden cat. Monty has only just got the hang of the catflap and stays outside most of the time. This picture is of Hugh. 
The latest addition to the cat menagerie is Rupert. Another one of Ma's kittens, she presented him to us (more along the lines of 'please, take this off my paws, I've had enough') when he was about 10 weeks old.
He is another blue-eyed beauty. He likes playing with the grass in the front garden.
Watch this space for the sheep and lambs next!
