To say this last year has been a bit chaotic would be an understatement and plans we made at the start of the year, always seemed to get pushed aside, so there have been less videos of Fifi than we had imagined we would be posting. So better late than never, I thought I would … More A little drive in the November sunshine.
To be honest, there were times, when I believed I would never get to write this post, but after nearly 18 months of brain-frying shenanigans, this week we finally received Fifi’s French registration number, and ordered her beautiful new black and silver plates. When we bought Fifi, just over 2 years ago, we fell in … More Fifi is Finally French
It’s hard to believe that we have had Fifi, our beautiful, bright red, 50 year old 2CV, for approaching 2 years, and we really couldn’t imagine being without her now. Although, as I write this, she is back in the garage, receiving more tender-loving care from Michel, after she decided she really didn’t fancy starting … More A Colourful Autumn Drive in Fifi – new video

We’re quite enjoying putting these little videos together now. The Sunflower fields were stunning, but the sight of Fifi being loaded onto the back of a recovery truck is so sad. Hopefully you can also see why we love the view from the Hotel L’Esplanade as we push open the shutters….. It is Jaw-droppingly beautiful … More Fifi’s French Adventure – Day 3 video
A little over 17 weeks ago Andy and I packed up the little house in Provence and headed back to the UK to be with the boys as COVID started to really take a grip and spread at a terrifying rate across the area. The last 4 months has seen us manage to redecorate the … More Fifi’s French Adventure #Day 1
