[QUOTE="Walterp, post: 28006, member: 321"] For all us Francophiles, it'd be hard not to admit a hankering at some time in our lives to go farming in France - big cattle somnambulant in sunlit small [I]prairies, [/I]big kit traversing the arable plains of the Paris Basin, and big, cool, stone farmhouses beckoning you in for a [I]salade verte[/I] and a glass of something interesting whilst waiting for the sun to cool down. I've heard Tim Green, one-time FW columnist and farm manager at Conrick Farm in Dumfries (is it for sale now?) talk about his move to Normandy; he didn't seem to regret a single moment of it. It was, so far as I can see, the making of his farming business. But others can, and do, come back; one of the under-bidders on our home unit recently sold up their farm near Limoges, and seemed relieved to be back in the UK, although the farmer's father still farms out there. Is it all it's cracked up to be? [/QUOTE]
