Opis

"We arrived in Hesdin (in the Pas de Calais) with three grand, hence the title of this book." Long before Brexit, but just after the Crash, Samantha and James left England behind to seek a better life on the European mainland. Mortgaged, bored, poor and sick of hearing the word "austerity" it seemed like there was nothing much doing in the UK. Discover how they fared as chateau guardians in the darkest depths of rural France. Find out what it is really like working for rich aristocrats and well heeled showbiz types. Filled with tips, observations and curious anecdotes, "The Three Grand Brits" constitutes a funny and, at times, cautionary tale. During the course of their adventures, Samantha and James get to know the "real" France, collect two golden retrievers, and make digressions into Spain and the Pyrenees. Fate ensures that the jolly duo get to live in the dark heart of the EU - Bruxelles. If you're ever thinking of "living the dream," read this book first. It won't put you off leaving the UK, but it'll give you considerable food for thought.
