Bon Courage, Les Anglais - Kindle Non-Fiction

"Bon Courage, Les Anglais." (Tales of the Uninitiated in Rural France)
by Peter and Christine Wakefield

Daylight breaks again. The first brilliant rays of sunshine spread across the horizon. Down the valley the morning mist, covering the land, begins to rise, giving an almost eerie atmosphere.
We open our window to the sounds of the birds chattering and the cows, shrouded in the mist, lowing as they move across the fields.
All else is tranquil. Morning vista in a small hamlet outside Bénévent L’Abbaye in rural France.

Welcome to “Bon Courage Les Anglais”, where we seek to “open the shutter” to allow a glimmer of light to shine on the life of those who live there.
We were two uninitiated “Anglais”; Christine, who could fortunately speak almost fluent French, and Peter, who initially struggled to string a sentence together.
Our little book chronicles the many heart-warming, often funny, sometimes life-changing experiences that we and our French neighbours shared together.
They record the ups and downs, the achievements and heartbreaks, the triumphs and mistakes of those incredible years.
They seek to share the everyday acts of neighbourliness, kindness and practical support, and the love that underpinned all of these.
They show a way of life echoing shades of fifty years ago, that we look back on nostalgically here in England.
