To celebrate our 150th podcast, we took a special trip. This week, we piled in the car and drove to beautiful Tourrettes sur Loup, with stops in Arles, Cannes and of course, Nice.
After driving by it dozens of time, we finally checked out the Rody Chocolate Museum & Boutique in Castillonnes. What a great experience. Move over Willie Wonka. Also in this Chapter, you'll find out just how much the Brits love their dogs.
This week, we wrap up our amazing trip to Barcelona with a visit to the Picasso museum. And we introduce you to a Canadian who's making positive waves in British Columbia, Tod Maffin.
What an eventlful week. We battled storm Nils, and won. Then embarked to beautiful Barcelona with our friends Brian and Angela Hayward. This is part one of our trip.
Julie was benched for Chapter 194, to make way for our friend Brian Hayward, whom Jeff met while in Winnipeg in the 80's. Brian was an NHL goalie for the Winnipeg Jets and later the Montreal Canadians, to name a couple, and now continues his long run as TV Hockey Analyst for the Anaheim Ducks.
If you operate, or use, Air BnB or other short-term leasing platforms, be aware, new laws are taking affect soon. We'll also tell you about the beautiful village of Gourdron and Michelle and her son Charlie, whom we met through the podcast.
We are all over the map this week. Everything from the Dr. approved benefits of wine circa 1935, to the Takata airbag recall and an eye-opening stroll through the magnificent Abbey in Moissac.
This week, we took a stroll through the many half-timber structures of Clairac. Truly amazing. Up the road a bit, the World Economic Forum was unfolding in Davos, and Canada's Prime Minister served notice with a speech that moved the dial. We discuss that as well.
It has been a fantastic week here in South West France. We received some amazing news regarding our Solar field grievance. And, we were treated to a lovely afternoon in the charming village of Villefrance du Perigord.
Happy New Year good people! On this week's chapter, we catch up on some current events that occured during our Christmas break, including news that George and Amal Clooney have been approved for citizenship here in France.
We couldn't think of a better way to wrap up 2025, than with a visit to the amazing Montauban Toy Museum. What a wonderful surprise. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and we hope you enjoy a fun, prosperous 2026. See you next year. - Jeff & Julie
