This is us.

Normally resident at La Vieille Fromagerie are the two of us, Janet & Dougie, the two dogs who came out from the UK with us, Bella & Charlie, and our four cats who adopted us last summer, Marge, Little Marge, Fluffy and Ginge.

Bella and Charlie love life in France with several acres to run around in - much better than the postage stamp garden in Wales.

Marge the cat adopted us last summer when she hid in our barn and had her litter of kittens. After feeding her up, we had her spayed as we didn’t know where she had come from and we weren’t ready for more kittens. On her return from the vets, one of neighbours recognised her and said “Nafnaf” belonged to someone else in the hamlet. Oops, but from that day on Marge has not strayed form us and shows no interest in her old home - too well fed probably. The cats do earn their keep, particularly the Ginger Ninja, by keeping the field mouse population under control.
