You Don’t Need a Weatherman

The financial winds are blowing in all directions, but it does not take a genius to see that the times they are a changin’ all over the world.

Here in the sunny South of France I am watching financial clouds gathering and sense  people beginning to”swarm” into groups of migrating families seeking some stable sanity in an ever crazier world.

Everyone everywhere will be affected in some way by these “interesting times” – my personal belief is that this is vitally important – these “interesting times” are necessary to move all development forward and that without the stimulus of “interesting times” the corruption, greed and evil of those who have clawed they way to the top of the midden, those people would have gained strength to do more damage.

I can only watch this, I am only an observer, living here in the heart of Languedoc, I do not wish to be a passive observer and if I can find something practical to do I will try – all I can think of is to whisper in my miniscule way on my blogs and offer a transient sanctuary to anyone wishing to come to our home in Villa Roquette.

Euro, pounds and dollars all seem like toy money – shifting a few percentage points , slithering around like beads of mercury, sometimes joining together and then being shaken into new patterns – it doesn’t matter – if you have got any of these federal “vouchers” at present my advice is to come to a sane part of the planet which has a kind and healthy climate, offers culture, has a solid infrastructure and cares about people – which is why we live here. I have no money so have none to lose or worry about, but I have found what many people are seeking, right here on my doorstep.

France is Best for Family Life

One very important reason we moved to France from the UK over 20 years ago was to offer our very young family the opportunity to grow up in a better environment giving more security, better education and health services.

The HSBC Bank confirms that this was the right decision.

According to a recent report (November 2011) by HSBC bank (shown below) Countries which provide expats with the greatest benefits in terms of salary and economic rewards don’t always provide the best quality of life for children and families. The report lists France as offering the best quality of life for children of families relocating.
