Welcome at Living Magazine February-March 2022 issue

Bienvenue to our first edition of 20221 The team at LIVING hope that the new year finds you all well, as we hope that this is the one when we can finally start to return towards ‘normal’.
Jon and I started 2022 apart like so many other families over the past few years. Elderly parents suddenly needed my help in the UK, so Jon stayed in F ranee to look after all the animals and keep things running. Instead of our children all coming home, they shared themselves between France and the UK and we had Christmas lunch via Zoom. Already a difficult situation, Brexit and COVID have conspired to make our lives more complicated than they ever were before, so it will take some time to establish what our new ‘normal’ is. Our plans are having to evolve as we consider how to manage the changing needs of all our family during the coming months.
We know we are not alone in trying to muddle through it all, so to those facing the same challenges we say’ courage’, and we hope that we’ll see you all on the other side of this journey.
As I look out over a rainy Oxfordshire, it has been a pleasure to work on this edition of the magazine, its pages once more filled with sunshine, beautiful photographs and fascinating features. I love visiting Biarritz and I am sure you will too if you have not yet fallen for its charms, for it makes the perfect out­of-season getaway destination. We look back at the history of the Renault 4L, the iconic, affordable car which is still going strong sixty years on, and we discover the history of Emmaus, which is so much more than a second-hand store where bargains abound. We meet an expert in woodland flowers, have cheesy recipes for all, and discover the role wine has played in literature through the ages. This is all topped and tailed with local news and an amusing meander through a small corner of the French language. We hope we live up to our aim of ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
