Excellent!

By the time of this, the second book in the series, Ian and his wife Natalie have been living in France for 7 years. They have three sons. Samuel moved out there with them, and Maurice and Thérence were born in France.

Ian is a well-known stand-up comedian. Although the plan had been initially to just do gigs in the UK at the weekend, then back to France, he was becoming more and more known, around the world, not just in the UK. Money was good..... but he was seeing less and less of his family, and their home in France.

They have plans, and have made renovations for their intended activities to make some income in France.

But there were to be setbacks. In the other book, where everything is comedy, this is more like a memoir, we're seeing his real feelings, he's not covering it all up with laughs. I enjoyed this one even more than his previous book. This one was more like a moving abroad memoir in that it was chronological (whereas the first wasn't-that tended to be chapters about certain subjects related). Anyway there's more about France, French way of life, and the family's lives in France in this book than his last one.

Some darker times in here, so the worrying was here, he opened up more, the emotions came through his writing, rather than just turning everything into comedy, which was sort of what his other book was like. I enjoyed this even better. There's still plenty of humour in here too though-I think this is funnier than the first book.

A fabulous read all the way through.
