Discover Our Big Fat French Adventure

Welcome to our blog!

Our Big Fat French Adventure is basically the ramblings of a morbidly obese, 44 year old woman who is desperately trying to lose weight to save her liver from eating itself (I have an autoimmune disease - among a number of issues - called Primary Biliary Cholangitis) ; her skinny, 58 year old cycling obsessed partner; and our gorgeous puss, Bob as we take on the biggest challenge of our lives - To make the move to France for a new life.

If you like what you read and what you see, please get in touch via the comments or come and find me on Twitter !

There are a number of affiliate links throughout the website and blog.

If you click on one of these and make a purchase I do receive a small sum of money. All of this will go towards the renovations of our French property.

And now for the guided tour...

Today's post is all about the videos! The quality isn't great, and I will do better ones once we get to France ourselves, but I hope that...

It's been a busy time...

As you can see, Bob is looking delightfully smug, and just a little sphinxy these days. Not only does he get to have both his parents at...

It has been quite the few weeks...

Last time I wrote here my Dad was in hospital and we were quietly optimistic that he'd make it through. We got a call on the Thursday,...

Up days and down days!

Thank heavens for my small and furry beasty. Bob is the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes! Right now, I feel like I am being pulled...

It's a strange and peculiar time!

I've been a little bit flarey over the past few weeks, which is why there have been no posts since 3rd May, but in the past few days a...

Bugger!

Lockdown has given us lots of time to think about our move to France - but unfortunately it means we are currently unable to do much more...

Who am I?

This past year has been rather odd. I have been a sickly sort my whole life, but this year was the year when doctors actually started...

I wasn't going to post this...

But after some consideration, decided that though this is just the rantings of a scared and angry person, it is better that they go out...
