Anna Bibby is living that life that many of us fantasise about living, in France.
She's been in a charming old village surrounded by walnut groves; then it was a charming old village surrounded by grape vines.
Anna Bibby is calling home this morning from the Gironde region of France, in the south-west, on the Bay of Biscay, near the city of Bordeaux, surrounded by a countryside dotted with vineyards and old chateaux.
Anna was born in Wellington then later owned a well-known gallery in Auckland's Herne Bay, and then, in her fifties, 12 years ago, she just moved to France.
“If you want a final adventure, jump now”
It's been a considerable adventure. Anna Bibby has written a book, it's called Learning to be French (and failing).
