Hi, my name is Jan and this is my first attempt at creating a blog so please bear with me... I have been married to my wonderful husband, Steve,  now for 28 years and we have 1 terrific 15 year old son. My husband and I have been in the antique business for all of our married life, he restores all antiques and we buy and sell together. This blog will be about our transition from life in the USA to returning across the pond and living the life we have dreamed about for so long...to find the quintessential English home hopefully with a separate cottage so we can host brocante tours several times a year, expand and share our love for all things vintage and antique so please join us on this journey .
