Villa Roquette – Olive Suite – Video

Posted on by

I have been meaning to make videos of our accommodation in Villa Roquette for a long time. In fact I have been planning to do this since we started using the Internet for our marketing in 1997 and I have no excuses.

I trained as a film maker and have been involved in hundreds of movies and TV productions, on both sides of the camera, but perhaps this has been a handicap rather than an advantage.

But I may have found the solution – by getting my children to make the clips for me. All I have done to help is to stipulate they are done in one take with no editing, are kept to a maximum of 90 seconds per clip and that there is a presenter taking to camera.

Here is the first one of our Olive Suite at Villa Roquette.

This shows Olive as a two room suite which can accommodate four people plus a cot if required. Olive can be a full self catering apartment or a B&B for two people

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.
