Living and Loving In The Lot

A delightful twist on the French life memoir, Living & Loving in the Lot recounts the adventures of Heather Buchanan, a Kiwi who realised a lifelong love of all things French and a dream to live in France.

Doing so in her mid-sixties, Heather's belief that you should live life to the full whatever your age fuelled her courage to leave her beloved New Zealand along with treasured pets, Loulou and Chouchou, to start a new life in a small village in the Lot.

In turn tender and funny, enlightening and inspiring, Heather's tale weaves its way from Aukland to Paris taking us on a journey through France filled with village fêtes and local markets, the perils of not quite learning French, swimming in rivers, the essence of French style, and creating treasured friendships and unexpected opportunities.
