Julie Whitmarsh

Contributor blog post by Vaucluse Dreamer:

Firstly apologies for any glitches in this blog – it’s been a bit chaotic trying to do it with intermittent internet and different wifi locations!

I can’t believe where the last few days have gone. A week ago, I had just hosted the village book group and this morning I’m sitting I’m sitting on the terrace in the sun with breakfast,

…Continue reading here for details on how Julie’s hubby is a packing genius, and the paperwork to complete their house sale in France (near the village of Caseneuve in Provence). Buyer beware the seller may take your light bulbs. Expat living is not easy when it comes to banking regulations either, find out why Julie made two trips to IKEA.

Julie Whitmarsh

Julie and her husband Andy started visiting the Vaucluse area 25 years ago & over the years have increased the amount of time they spend there with their growing family. She has a deep affection for the area, finding it is a great place to visit, where the whole family can relax and enjoy time together.

She longs for the day when she can ‘up-sticks’ from her home on Dartmoor & relocate to the Luberon and spend her days cycling, walking, visiting markets & brocante fairs and of course enjoying the local food and drink.

Her blog VaucluseDreamer gives her a space to highlight some of her favourite things about the area from places to visit to particular activities that she and her family all enjoy.

She hopes one day it will be a place where she can share the process of renovating a house in France, but at the moment that will have to wait.
