Hia again,
Well, I am not on the montpelliers side but I imagine it's similar
renting or buying is cheaper in my area than around Montpellier, renting or buying depending also on how much money you have to spend of course there is some land to buy, finding a nice place to rent can take longer, tmeto get to know whee , what, who...!
I know quite a few people who live from nature's poducts chestnuts,plants , oganic seeds... most people here have different jobs to make ends meet if they are not rich retired , Dutch people, or "Lyonnais" who come here only two months a year in a huge villa with acres of unused fertile soil!
It is a little less dry here than around Montpelliers I suppose, the village where I am is 500m high (ROCLES 07110) you can check on google earth
There are many makets so I think you could work here as an auto entrepreneur I think, if you settle you can stop with the british scheme and tax office I think. But here there is so much paperwork you'll probably need help
Best do all this once your studies are over of course with some money n the side of course
My tip would be to come over and visit, if you have a week this summer I can invite you over , maybe we could find a time to speak on Skype see if it's a good idea
It's not diffcult to get into markets but you have to do it all year round to keep a stand ,for what I know but if you come I ll get you to meet some friends who do the market they'll now more than myself
I teach french so if you need some lessons I have some time, maybe we can exchange some knowledge, I have only started gardening and learning about plants 2 years ago. My boyfiend has more knowledge about gardening for my part I have been learning about edible wild plants,I am interested in their theraputicaluse too
I have good memories of my life at Aberdeen, UNI social life was fun, I was in the exploration society so we went hiking everywhere and around Braemar in the Cairngoms and so on with uni and with friends! I miss Scotland in a way, it as never as wild here in Fance, there is always a lovely stone village or a lost house in the middle of nowhere to remind you where you are, a different charm! more historical signs and remnants of human medieval and prehistorcal life in France, mysteries of a different colour! I miss the celtic fairies, the rare and simple stone circles
My boyfiend moans that I like my daughter should get out of the computer to enjoy the sun today, and have to collect some flowers for herbal teas so before the sunset..
Give me your skype sometimes
talk to you soon
