ABOUT DEBORAH & MARK

One wintery morning in the carefree London of the early 1990s, two world travellers from very different parts of the globe happened to meet over a bowl of cornflakes and a cup of tea in the breakfast room of a Chelsea hotel.

Many conversations, auto-train-ferry-trips, and adventures around Great Britain later — we married and lived for awhile in Norfolk UK before becoming global citizens by residing on 3 different continents (and many different states) over a 20-plus year period. Australia was home for the longest period — most recently with 6 years in Melbourne and 7 years in Central Victoria.

Europe was our favourite place from 2010 to 2013 and it created a template for how we preferred to live. We decided that we needed to reside in a place that made our hearts sing, so we returned to France at the end of 2016 and will not be returning to Australia.

Mark Harmes has been in the construction trades for over 2 decades, restoring houses (beautifully!) for a living. In his spare time, he is a mad-keen cyclist, lover of jazz, snuffler through brocantes for vintage records or bits of mid-century goodness, and a fine-arts painter when he has a bit of time.

Together we have purchased, restored, and sold houses in places around the world.

We’re now living in Brittany, France with happy hearts about being back in Europe

Stay tuned to see where we will travel next and where we will end up!
