About Les Mirabelles

My posts cover living in the south of France, renovating a property, and starting a business.

Me (Sam) and my wife (Heather) both quit our jobs in UK (I was a civil servant in Whitehall for nearly 15 years) and have jumped into something completely different in the eastern reaches of the Department of the Tarn-et-Garonne.

You can catch Heather on instagram.

We’re creating a holiday retreat focused on good food, good wine and most importantly, community - a place to stay and meet like-minded folk.

p.s. Unlike Yorick, I am not really a fellow of infinite jest, though I do aspire to be more jest-ful. This blog url name is of course taken from the quote from Hamlet, but also from David Foster Wallace’s book of the same name. A great read if you have the perseverance, and the time.
