Good morning from the 17th century market hall we visited yesterday, it was restored in the 19th century (and very nice for lunching under) #LifeInFrance

To help fight poverty our French department now offers a scheme where low-income families can request funds for chickens and chickencoops #LifeInFrance

Soft bellied relaunch of my "What's eating Dorothy Porker" newsletter https://open.substack.com/pub/dorothyporker/p/shes-backish?r=5e1do&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #Substack #Foodwriting #LifeInfrance

Picked up some Vietnamese food, it smelled very good (the house smelled like my -Indonesian- grandma's house) so have high hopes for dinner tonight #LifeInFrance

Spring is happening 🥰 #LifeInFrance

Lyon sounds like a lovely place for men to live, not so much for women https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/abroad/we-have-a-quality-of-life-that-simply-wouldn-t-be-possible-at-our-age-in-ireland-1.4850816 #expat #lifeinfrance #sexism #lyon

Another Sunday another Christmas market, hopefully this one is less British #LifeInFrance

Now that the leaves are finally falling it's funny to see how many houses we didn't realize were there on our weekly routes to the supermarches and what not #LifeInFrance

Not yet tired of seeing #michelfoucault’s books in more “general audience” settings. Here it is in a gift shop of a French castle. #lifeinfrance #Angers (the iOS app isn’t allowing me to give alt-text to photos, will try again tomorrow)

We asked the neighbors of our dog could play with their dog and now they've invited us over for dinner as a friend of theirs is opening a restaurant in Bordeaux and wants to try some menu items #score #LifeInFrance

Trimmed all the #roses in the garden for the first time, think I did okay (pruned them all back to 50cm's above ground).

For context: the previous owner planted loads of different roses and this is our first year at the house. Wasn't big on roses but as they've been popping up here each in different color I am not opposed to keeping them #gardening #LifeInFrance

We thought the hunters had gotten to 'our deer' but I just hear one cussing outside and it's a relief to know at least some of them are surviving (for now) #LifeInFrance
