Thread: hi everyone

hi everyone, this is my first time using your forum, so just to say hello to you all, and introduce myself.

i am a kitchen fitter by trade, and decided to leave england a couple of years ago, and move to the green belt area of the dordogne (perigord regional national park) in mid southern France. i live here with my partner, who has bought a 17th century farmhouse. our little haven is sitting in a lovely 7000 sq m of gardens complete with a beautiful spring fed lake. we get our fair share of rain, but its nice to actually experience the four seasons again. our temperature ranges from -15 to +35.. and in july, we had a spell of 38 degrees.
work is a struggle, and i dont earn much money, but the standard of living is much better, and a slower way of life as well. i am 54 years old, and have done a lot with my life, some good and some not so clever ( in hindsight ) so i guess an average type of guy.

so thats about all i can say to you regarding my introduction.

i have a few questions for the forum on a particular bank loan issue i have with Barclays so hopefully i will receive some answers to my questions from some of you.

regards curmont.
