Introduction	Madame and I experienced a 'coup de foudre' the first time we visited the Pays Basque (aka the French Basque Country) together - so much so that we started planning our next holiday there as we were driving away. After a few more visits, we concluded that this was where we were going to live one day, once the necessity of having to earn a living was a thing of the past. In mid-2007, we sold up in the UK and we finally realised our long-held dream to move to the Pays Basque. It's everything we ever hoped it would be and it's probably the best decision we've ever made - we've absolutely no regrets. PS If you're wondering about the spelling of "The Compleat Anglo" - well, rest assured I can spell - it's just a contrived pun from the title of Izaak Walton's classic 17th century angling work "The Compleat Angler" .
Favorite Music	There are enough clues in the blog!
Favorite Books	I'm a great fan of James Salter (The Hunters, Burning the Days); early Hemingway, Eric Newby (The Last Grain Race & others)
