The Three Grand Brits: An Antidote to "A Year In Provence"

Have you..... Ever wanted to get away from it all? Ever wanted to “Live the Dream”? Wondered what it's like to live in a millionaires chateau? Tried to get a juicer repaired in Bruxelles? Got smashed on genuine absinthe? James J. Browne has managed to survive for 51 years whilst having had many diverse and not necessarily interesting occupations. He has been, prior to leaving Blighty, a professional musician, a tour guide, road sweeper, recycling operative, telephone fortune teller, insulation installation operative, light bulb packer, antique dealer, waiter, sea shell salesman and barman to name a few. It was his brief career as a taxi driver that decided it was time to leave England behind, and this is where the adventure begins. He now lives and travels with his long suffering partner Samantha and two golden retrievers in a Fiat Ducato. This is the tale of their adventures on the other side of the Channel and what happened when they became Chateau Guardians. Full of humour, both light and dark, this gritty factual tale describes how the jolly foursome fared on their travels. Packed with unusual observations this book is a must for anyone wishing to emigrate and “Live the Dream”. This is probably the most unusual travel book to be published in 2014. The author hopes this volume will serve as an amusing cautionary tale for anyone wishing to become chateau guardians.
