"It was our kids fault we moved to France." says Ray Johnstone, read the full interview here.

"So, after eight months of exploring France, we [Ray and his lovely wife Lynne] moved into La Petite Galerie, a seven-hundred-year-old stone house in Mezin, a medieval village in Gascony.

We now offer accommodation for travellers at La Petite Galerie, art classes, walks and much much more – see the scene at breakfast below."
