    Spotlight on the Barleys, thanks to the TweetDeck Connexion

    Back in the autumn last year I did an interview for the english-language paper Connexion, which is a national paper published in France for english-speakers.
    The story was challenging the traditional view of ex-pats as older couples looking to retire to the sun or run a gite.

    With the wide availability of high-speed broadband throughout France now, more and more young families are able to maintain hi-tech jobs while also living the dream.
    This story was so relevant to us that I couldn't refuse and was happy to share our experiences.

    We really are very lucky to be in the position we are in, where I have a key role in a leading-edge technology startup, while also maintaining the quiet rural lifestyle that we moved to France to achieve.

    Thanks to Iain for giving us the opportunity to continue living our dream.
