1. Digging deep in Nérac, France

Today I’d like to introduce you to Tamsin Jardinier, a well-being practitioner and who is a writer based in Southwest France, where she cooks, takes pictures, and walks her two hounds, Lucien & Edie.

Tamsin is the writer behind ‘Ongoing Conversations’ on Substack, where she writes “Stories about living and working with authenticity”. You’ll find ‘Ongoing Conversations’ on #FranceStack™ in the good company of another 39 other writers, writing from France or about France. It is a perfect francophile resource, in case you’ve missed it.

So, back to my topic. The story below is a melange of my introduction and a repost from Tamsin’s ‘Ongoing Conversations’, which I really enjoyed and wanted to share, as I think you will enjoy it too.

You’ll find images that are like a calendar - with an almost nude man committed to his passion, BUT it’s much more serious!

Here we have a devoteé of bread finding a way to commit his life to doing just that - the best way possible. Finding the magic of life balance, the dream of so many.

I'll open by asking this question:

What do photos of an almost naked man, a specialist Boulanger, the film Chocolat, and foie gras have in common?
