Get ready for an epic adventure full of unexpected twists and turns! Follow the journey of two brave middle-aged Brits who abandon their comfortable life in the UK and take on the challenge of restoring a charmingly dilapidated French property. But this isn't your typical renovation project - it takes place during the height of the worst financial crisis in modern history, making the obstacles seem insurmountable. From dealing with troublesome builders to navigating the complex legal system, and from coping with stubborn relatives to contending with an uncooperative housing market back home, these intrepid heroes face seemingly endless challenges. And did we mention the house is also inhabited by mischievous cats and even some mysterious skeletons? Join Andrea Frazer as she chronicles the exhilarating ups and downs of this unforgettable journey, and discover the heartwarming and hilarious moments that make it all worthwhile.
