Jean Halford-Thompson

We've been in France for nearly 16 years and love it. Prior to living in a 14th century dream we lived on a 12 metre sailing boat. How life changes!

We have been living in France for 16 years. Before that we lived on a boat for three years and travelled in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and up the east coast of America. Now it's back to reality and I run a small upholstery business while my husband runs a property management business. He also help me in the workroom! Our three children seem to have grown faster than we can keep up with and now we are the proud owners of two students and one 14 year old still at home.

Recently I have started to give upholstery courses - you will find more information here: http://grandgennetay.typepad.com/my_weblog/upholstery-course.html

Currently I am learning the joys of all things fibre: spinning wool, dyeing wool, knitting wool.
