We are David and Janet Murphy, and we have lived in Brittany for 10 years. David comes from Essex, and I am a Londoner. The main reasons we decided to move to France were for a better quality of life with time to spend with each other, to not be so stressed and to go back to the simple things that really matter. David works for a local company. He is the only English person that works there and he loves it. I have taken French courses here and now speak French well. I have entered the gardening competition and came 2nd last year and 1st this year, I was so surprised and honoured. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 11 hens and 1 cock called Napoleon, lovely eggs, and our chickens are not for the table. We have spent the past years renovating our house and gite and hope you'll enjoy your stay here.
