One way ticket with Linda Stewart ChronicleFred

Sell your house, leave your work, friends and family, take a one-way flight to France. Who has never thought about it? While many dream of it, few cross the Rubicon. Linda Stewart did just that! To reach France more than ten years ago, Linda began her adventure by crossing the ocean in the company of her adorable young Bullmastiffs Windson and Dudley, her English bulldog Quincy and her two mischievous cats, Lucy and Sally. Today, the friendly Canadian lives in a small town in the southwest, located in the Gironde department, far from any cities.Linda fell under the spell of an old house surrounded by vineyards, fields of sunflowers and corn, but also all kinds of varieties of trees. Birds, squirrels, rabbits and even deer roam here and there. But when I ask her what she prefers in France, her blue eyes shine brighter than usual and her voice suddenly breaks, carried away by emotion: “My favorite thing here is the people”, she replied to me...On the first spring weekend of this year with the smells of cut grass and magnolias and the snoring of Mila, her endearing female English Bulldog, who never leaves us, we record our conversation.>> © 2021 chroniclefred.com
