Look! It's Us!

And I thought we had cleaned the windscreen...

My Favorite reflection is the one we get in a shop window at dusk, with the headlights glowing yellow. This one was unexpected.

Thank you for the link that explains why the name Marie Brizard is affixed to the Mini.; 7 June 2015 at 10:36

About Us

Susan was born in Victoria, but moved to Queensland when she was 11. Simon was born in London, but moved to Canberra when he was 7, and to Queensland when he was 28. In 1997 they moved to London. Susan worked for a large heritage and nature conservation trust and Simon taught music technology at tertiary level.

Now we live in Preuilly-sur-Claise, a small town with a population of less than 1000 people in the south of the Loire Valley. We write about the restoration of our house, the history of our local area, nature, cooking and anything else that strikes us as interesting. When we are not blogging we run Loire Valley Time Travel, doing individually tailored tours of the Touraine for anglophone visitors in our classic Citroëns, Célestine and Claudette.

All the photos are taken by us unless stated otherwise. We are not paid for any links within the text of blog posts: if we link to another website in a post we have written it is because we think readers might be interested in further information. All content on the blog is original and copyrighted to us (unless stated otherwise) and permission must be sought if you wish to use any part of the text or photos.
