My French Country Home Magazine January/February 2019 | Page 3

Edito T he start of a new year and here at MFCH Magazine the start of a new adventure. This magazine has been a long time in the planning and the dreaming. I meet many talented and passionate people in my everyday life here, and my pleasure is to share. I’m joined by gifted writers and photographers and our aim is to bring you a magazine full of beautiful images of French life, with insights into homes, gardens and traditional savoir faire. France has a rich heritage of great design and good living, and it’s our privilege to guide you around ; take you behind the scenes ; lead you off the beaten track and to show you the corners of France that the casual visitor rarely sees. So what is the draw of France? British born I’ve lived here all of my adult life, married to a French man with our children raised and schooled here. I can say that I know the country well. But I still have an objective ‘foreigner’s’ eye, which allows me to enjoy the French architecture, the landscapes, the rhythm of life, the good food and wine and so much more. Times are changing fast around the world. Here in France, it feels as if we can still live at a slower pace, I hope that in this magazine, we’ll manage to convey to you a little of this authentic and everyday French living.
