The adventure begins!

websites The adventure begins!   Life in Brittany, FranceWell, the jobs have started trickling in.

It’s only Wednesday and I’ve already visited 3 clients, travelling as far as Gael on Monday and Cruguel yesterday.

In order to be able to visit clients without having to ask the Girlie to drive me, I am in the process of getting my car (the Green Beastie), back on the road. Two visits to the insurance office and it’s nearly there. Perhaps third time lucky?

A new job!

websites A new job!   Life in Brittany, FranceWell, it’s finally happened!

I’ve received my final pay packet from Helga’s House of Pain (the local name for the abattoir where I used to work), and am now reliant on my own efforts in order to feed myself and family (and keep me in the manner to which I’ve become accustomed.)

The Siret number (a sort of license to run a business that you need in France) has arrived – the delays were entirely my fault!

I am now on some computer somewhere as 514 452 838 00014.

Everything is ready, all we need now are some customers!

The Girlie is busy researching local businesses that don’t appear to have websites and I am working on setting up our websites.

Of course, as the picture above testifies, I am no stranger to hard work, having been sent down t’pit at an early age!
