What’s Next For The CW’S Black Lightning?
Following in the footsteps of Gone with the Wind and Titanic, The Sound of Music is a musical drama series that aired on Fox TV for over three seasons. Since the release of the 3rd season, which occurred well before in 2018, fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Star Season 4. Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy are the creators of the program. The series takes place in Atlanta and follows three music artists who are incredibly talented at their jobs, but have forgotten about their pasts and are attempting to build a new career.
They learn all about the music business, their company, how difficult it is to get into fame, and the way fan following works throughout the season. In the same musical universe as Empire, Fox’s The Gifted first aired in December 2016. The series was packed with celebrity cameos, including Noomi Campbell, Gladys Knight, Lenny Kravitz, and Tyrese Gibson.
Season 4 of Star’s Cast
Excluding the three stars of the show – Brittany O’Grady, Jude Demorest, and Ryan Destiny. Queen Latifah, Brandy Norwood, Amiyah Scott, Quincy Brown, Miss Lawrence, Luke James, Lance Gross, Matthew Noszka of the cast are some of the celebrities.
What occurred in the course of three seasons of Star?
The first two seasons focus on the travails of three very gifted vocalists as they rise to stardom in the music business, learning about its harsh reality along the way. They thrive in adverse situations and pursue their ambitions as a result. The third season begins three months after the conclusion of season 2, with Star (Demorest) returning home and the fates of Alex (Ryan Destiny) and Simone (Brittany O’Grady) coming to light.
Unfortunately, the final season of the program was a disappointment to the audience, resulting in a 1.06 rating in the FOX viewership from the teens of 3.54 people. Even, comparing the second season which was also poorly performed and the viewership of the show got lower by 19%.
Star Season 4 in May 2019 and the decision was made that the program will not have a fourth season. You’ll be asking how such a tremendous program has been canceled by the FOX Studio, which had so much potential to develop.
To further validate this, examine the Star. Daniels took it to his Instagram and posted a video on the cancellation of the Show which hurt the fans of the show very deeply. In the video, posted by him on Instagram he said ‘Okay, So I got some bad news, that (Star) ain’t happening. I tried my best. We have some amazing folks on our team. I’m a seasoned pro. I’ve been in this situation before. Then the guy responds, ‘No man, I have to get the name out of here because a person is coming over and if he sees me with you then it will be awkward’. we’re not doing anything right now He stressed on a few different occasions that he did the best and closed the video by predicting that Star will be one of his most remembered works.
Star Season 4: Trailer
There will be no trailer or teaser for the program, as it was canceled in 2019. But, as there are many other programs that have been canceled by TV networks and subsequently picked up on streaming platforms owing to the show’s fans clamoring for its conclusion, yet with no response from the cast of stars of the program once they were notified of its cancellation.
Star Season 4: Ratings
The second season of the Star, which aired in 2017, did not go well with the show’s audience or with the show’s producers. The series has an average rating of 6.7 out of 10 on the IMDB, which is lower than Season 1’s 7.6, but higher than Season 2’s 6.0. TV.com rates the program much differently than the IMDB – 7.3 out of 10 instead of 6.0 out of 10
whether to continue airing Empire or cancel it. After some discussion between them, the show Star’s cancellation came into priority because Empire was on its sixth season which is the final season of the show so they canceled Star in order to complete Empire.
The creators of the show evidently revealed in several interviews that it was a tough choice to cancel the show but they didn’t have any choice but to send off the finale season of the Empire in a good manner to the fans. Both series, like many other adaptions of novels into movies and shows, followed a similar musical drama theme.
In further to this, the creators of the show also added that it was hard for them to even swift the time slot of the show Empire to 9 pm because the show Star was being very loud by fans and it was their lead viewership. So, for them to cancel the show itself was very challenging as they said in many interviews.
To be honest, the cancellation of the program was not anticipated by many fans, as there were plenty of other musical dramas picked up by FOX Entertainment like Star.
Season 4 of Star is being considered for a petition.
Since the cancellation of Star has been an announcement, there has been a petition on the internet to renew the series for its fourth season by millions of fans and viewers of the program. The purpose of the campaign is to bring all Harry Potter fans together and fight for a renewal announcement from Netflix, which is the largest streaming service. The petition is started by SJ to Fox Broadcasting Company and until now, 7,184 people have signed the petition.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill has voiced his disappointment at some of his club's fans questioning his position at Spotland.
Dale are still in the hunt for a play-off place in League Two and Hill believes he should be getting more support than he is at present.
He told the Rochdale Observer: "Most of our fans can see we are developing a squad for the future.
"People keep asking me if we are bringing players in, but we can't get the ones we feel would help develop the squad right now.
"I know if I was to put our squad on the transfer list tomorrow, there would be no shortage of takers for the vast majority of the players we have here.
"We are still in a healthy position and we are nurturing a squad for the future, we are nowhere near our end destination yet."

We are manufacturers of double beam cranes
Many think that the double girder crane is a type of crane, yet it is only a feature that is sometimes adopted by the overhead crane. In the case of other crane models, such as those that are suspended by only one column or by an arm directly attached to the wall, the double girder crane is not recommended as these infrastructures usually bear less weight. However, it is always possible to make a wider, stiffer column that supports demand, but, of course, the cost will increase. Therefore, in standard double girder crane designs, they are usually applied to suspended overhead cranes, which may be uni-beam or double beam.
Obviously, the double girder crane is suitable for industries that demand a higher weight lifting capacity, since it is distributed between the two beams, so that the weight is not centred in only one, putting at risk both the column and the bar. However, if the double girder bridge supports more weight, it is necessary, in addition to the beams, a hoist with a strong current, so that it does not break when hoisting some equipment or part. In addition to the chain hoist that allows the handling of large weights, it must also have adequate structure, including components in the engine. Therefore, the heavier the object being hoisted, the greater the demand for investment.
Viga has a team of engineers ready to serve you. With our experience of over 4 decades in manufacturing double girder bridge cranes, we know exactly what your business needs to reduce production time and hence costs, thus increasing demand. Contact us and share your demand, we can certainly add, with more information, your crane design. We are at your disposal!

|Country Italian Somaliland|
Type Royal Army
|Allegiance Kingdom of Italy|
|Active 5 April 1908 - May 5, 1936|
Branch Royal Corps of Colonial Troops
The Royal Corps of Somali Colonial Troops (Italian: Regio corpo truppe coloniali della Somalia italiana) was the colonial body of the Royal Italian Army based in Italian Somaliland, in present-day northeastern, central and southern Somalia.
In the late 19th century, Mogadishu was under the joint control of the Somali Geledi Sultanate (which, also holding sway over the Shebelle region in the interior, was at the height of its power) and the Omani Sultan of Zanzibar. Mogadishu was thereafter made the capital of the newly established Italian Somaliland colony.
On 5 April 1908, the Royal Corps of Somali Colonial Troops was established, after the Italians had captured the southern Benadir region from the Sultan of Zanzibar. The troops were originally referred to as "Guard Corps of Benadir" (Corpo della Guardia di Benadir in Italian). However, after the territory was renamed from Benadir Coast Italian Protectorate to Italian Somaliland, the troops officially became known as the Royal Corps of Somali Colonial Troops.
In 1908, the Royal Corps assumed the final name ''Regio corpo truppe coloniali della Somalia italiana. This included a command, a department of Zaptie, 5 local companies, and a company of local cannon-gunners.
In 1907, the rebels Bimal lost again at Dongab and Danane, defeated by 500 Somalian troops and Eritrean Ascari under Captain Vitali. The forces were supported by the Royal ship N "Relay". Between 11 and 12 July 1908, troops led by mayor Antonino Di Giorgio conquereded the city of Merca, after clashing with rebels in Merére and occupying Afgooye. Following a series of Italian victories, the Sultan of Geledi and his 5,000 strong army were subdued.
The British became convinced of their need of Italian assistance in their campaign against the Dervish forces of Mohammed Abdullah Hassan (called "The Mad Mullah" by the British). However, memories of the disastrous Battle of Adowa inhibited any Italian fervour for action in the Horn region. In 1903, the Italian Foreign Ministry permitted the British to land forces at Hobyo (Obbia). An Italian naval commander off Hobyo feared "that the expedition will end in a fiasco; the Mad Mullah will become a myth for the British, who will never come across him, and a serious worry for ... our sphere of influence."
The relationship between the Sultanate of Hobyo and Italy soured when Sultan Yusuf Ali Kenadid refused the Italians' proposal to allow British troops to disembark in his Sultanate so that they might then pursue their battle against Hassan's Dervish forces. Viewed as too much of a threat by the Italians, Kenadid was exiled first to the British-controlled Aden Protectorate, and then to Italian Eritrea, as was his son Ali Yusuf, the heir apparent to his throne. In May, the British Foreign Office realised the error, and had Kenadid's son appointed regent, just in time to forestall an attack in Mudug by the Sultan's army.
The expedition ended in failure soon after. Hassan defeated a British detachment near Gumburru and then another near Daratoleh. With 1,200–1,500 rifles, 4,000 ponies and some spearmen, he occupied the Nugal Valley from Halin in the British protectorate to Ilig (or Illig) on the Italian-held coast. The main British force near Galad (Galadi) under General William Manning retreated north along the line Bohotleh–Burao–Sheekh. This "old-established line" had already been breached by Hassan when he invaded the Nugal. By the end of June, the withdrawal was complete.
In 1925, the Dubats were established. These irregular Somalian troops initially served under mayor Camillo Bechis as guerrilla forces of the Royal Corps, sometimes using camels. The troops mainly operated in the Ogaden region.
Second Italo-Ethiopian War & Italian East Africa
During the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, the Somali Colonial Troops served alongside soldiers from Italy and Eritrea in a second attempt by Italian troops to defeat the Ethiopian forces.
In the Battle of the Ogaden, commanded by General Luigi Frusci who was to move forward to the pivotal point of the "Hindenburg Wall" of Ethiopian defenses under Wehib Pasha (a military advisor to the Ethiopian army), the Royal Corps of Somali Colonial troops in April 1936 fought bravely defeating the Ethiopian troops. They received an Italian "Military Gold Medal" award mainly for this victory.
On 5 May 1936, Italian troops captured Addis Ababa after defeating Ethiopia during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. Benito Mussolini then proclaimed the establishment of Italian East Africa, which unified Italian Eritrea and Italian Somaliland with defeated Ethiopia. Addis Ababa was later made the capital city of Italian East Africa. The Somali Colonial Troops would then be merged with other Royal troops, creating even the Italian African Police and the Somalian "Carabinieri" (Zaptie).
In 1940, the Somali Colonial Troops were officially added to the Italian Army, establishing the Italian Somali Divisions (101 and 102).
After World War II, a former member of the Zaptìé corps, Siad Barre, became President of Somalia from 1969 to 1991.
Gold Medal of Military Valor - Awarded for heroism during the Italo-Ethiopian War of October 3, 1935 to May 5, 1936.

Problems may arise due to errors with:
- Electrode function
Follow the steps below to isolate the source of the problem.
For pH, there should be a difference of 150 to 210 mV between pH 4 and 7, as well as between pH 7 and 10. Observing the mV values provides the best means for checking electrode performance. mV values are recorded during the calibration procedure. Check calibration values in the .glp file, or follow the procedure in Calibrating WQ-PH Smart USB Sensor.
If the mV difference is not within the normal range, follow the procedures described in WQ-PH Smart USB Sensor Maintenance.
If the electrode slope is still outside the normal range after this procedure, contact NexSens Customer Support for assessment.
The quality of results depends greatly upon the quality of the standards used. Use fresh standards when problems arise; it could save hours of troubleshooting. Errors may result from contamination of prepared standards.
Keep all standards tightly covered when not in use.
If the electrodes work properly in standards, but not in samples, there may be interfering ions, complexing agents, or substances which could affect responses. If possible, determine the composition of the samples and use the appropriate complexing agents for interfering ions.
Check that the value of the solution is within the operating range of the probe.
Be sure that the expected concentration of the sample is within the measurement range of the probe.
Closely follow the methods described in WQ-PH Smart USB Sensor Measurement Techniques.

Dylan's Hope Foundation
Religious, Grant-making, Civic, and Professional and Similar Organizations-Grant-making and Giving Services
Objective: Overdose awareness, prevention, and support to those struggling with addition or those who have lost a loved one to overdose in Leduc and surrounding areas.
What’s Dylan’s Hope Foundation?
Dylan’s Hope Foundation came to conception in 2018, due to a tragic loss of a member of our founder’s family. Our beloved Dylan lost his life to an overdose in Leduc on January 17, 2017, he was 23 years old. Substance Use Disorder was unfamiliar to our family and we were left alone to try to understand and make sense of the tragedy.
After his passing, we were left devastated at his loss. We had many questions, we were ignorant on the opioid epidemic, and at a loss to find support or understanding for our family and friends. This evolved us to wanting to make a difference in our community. Providing the awareness of the fatal drugs to others, working towards providing education on the epidemic, making a difference to end the stigma associated with mental illness, addiction and overdose, all the while providing a safe, non-judgemental event to remember our loved ones lost to overdose in our community.

Re: The Man with the Small CastlePosted: April 25, 2012
I have little doubt that most of the readers of this blog are disturbed by the recent output of Dr. Cox, and for good reason. So it appears as though “Big Daddy” Dickworth must restore this blog to respectability yet again.
To begin with, do not listen to the hacks that refereed my unassailable article on Cox’s homosexuality. As little Richard himself demonstrates on a weekly basis, the world of penis science is full of petty, backbiting cowards for whom peer review is merely a weapon to be wielded against those few of us who are capable of true innovation.
But of course, such unsupported and unwarranted attacks on my merits as a scientist have persisted throughout my career, always in one dubious form or another, whether it be claims of plagiarism, arrogance, or “clownish stupidity.” I was at first puzzled by this inexplicable and apparently inexhaustible hatred for me and my work as a penis scientist until Dr. Cox’s most recent article “The Man with the Small Castle: The Gorilla Penis.” Then it all came together: They are all jealous of my huge penis.
Of course I hate to have to say publicly that I have an absolutely enormous penis, but Cox has forced my hand with his libelous article, which may as well have been titled, “The Man with the Small Penis: Brody Dickworth.” I have, in the past, always been very discrete about my freakishly long and girthy penis, because I knew what the consequences would be in the petty and envious society of penis scientists. But now I realize my folly–penises are the business of penis scientists, and they must have known all along. Thus the hate, thus the humiliation, thus the lies. Yes, it leads them to lie and spread rumors among themselves that I actually have a small penis in order to make themselves feel better about themselves.
Well I will not be ashamed anymore! I will stand up proudly and tell the whole world, “I have dick like a Louisville Slugger and I am not ashamed!” You see, most dicks are cigarettes, mine is a Cuban cigar. Most dicks are withered saplings, mine is a majestic old-growth Redwood. Most dicks are Muggsy Bogues, mine is Charles Barkley. Most dicks are decadent Romans, mine is a conquering Visigoth–tall, sleek, heavily bearded, and sort of ruddy. Your dick is a letter opener, mine is a blood-stained broadsword that just cut a man’s head off at the shoulder.
Think about it: Why would I become a bodybuilder if I had a small dick? If this were the case then the moment which for most men is warmly anticipated and filled with excitement–that moment we “cigar men” all know about when she finally grabs your huge penis and flushes with happiness–would instead fill me with a building sense of shame and anxiety as it approached before it inevitably ended in yet another painful experience, punctuated by her cruel little smirks and the poorly thought out excuses as to why she’s suddenly changed her mind about having sex. Surely this is not a situation that I would seek to worsen by making my already comically small bulge appear all the more absurd for being attached to an unnaturally large frame. That is, if my bulge were comically small, instead of looking like a goddamn bowling ball being carried between my thighs.
On the other hand, I can see how such constant feminine humiliation, which stings worse precisely to the degree that it is gentle and therefore laced with pity, could, theoretically at least, drive a man to a society of other men. A noble society, perhaps, in which the only kind of largeness that concerns men is the kind that can be earned. A society that judges a man not on the size of his package, but on the content of his character–as revealed by the massive muscles he worked hard to build. This, I suspect, is indeed the motivation which has spawned many a builder, although certainly not me. Having a gargantuan set of genitalia that roughly resembles the head of a tuskless elephant wearing pumpkin earrings, I wouldn’t know.

The coronavirus claimed yet another casualty, as YouTube said Thursday that for the first time since its debut in 2010, it will not produce its annual YouTube Rewind video.
YouTube Rewind is the Google-owned video site’s generally well received end-of-year wrap-up, except for the 2018 version, which set the all-time YouTube record for dislikes.
“Since 2010, we’ve ended the year with Rewind: a look back at the year’s most impactful creators, videos and trends,” YouTube said. “Whether you love it—or only remember 2018—Rewind was always meant to be a celebration of you. But 2020 has been different. And it doesn’t feel right to carry on as if it weren’t. So, we’re taking a break from Rewind this year.”
YouTube added, “We know that so much of the good that did happen in 2020 was created by all of you. You’ve found ways to lift people up, help them cope and make them laugh. You made a hard year genuinely better. Thank you for making a difference.”

Already many expats appreciate just how perfect life in France can be and the potential the country offers for high quality more affordable lifestyle. If you are wondering where in France you should relocate to, here are the best places to live in France for expats.
France is a country of great contrasts, with a good deal of difference between the regions and the types of lifestyle you can expect if you’re planning to live in France.
The real secret to a successful move to France is in finding the best place to live for your needs.
Best places to live in France
Where are the best places to live in France?
The answer is of course ‘it depends’ – i.e., it depends on what you’re looking for and what you want and expect from your new life in France.
Young professionals, expats with families, retirees, – all will have different considerations when choosing the best place to live in France.
The departments of France
Unlike most other countries, France’s administrative divisions are referred to as departments. There are 97 departments in metropolitan France, there’s also another 5 departments in France’s overseas territories.
The best places to live in France if you’re moving with children
France is a great country to raise children.
Based on where there are the best schools and educational facilities, the best shopping and employment prospects, the following departments are the top choice for families:
Haute-Garonne in the Midi Pyrenees
The department is in the Midi-Pyrenees region of southern France.
Haute-Garonne has a diverse landscape with pretty rolling hills to the north, vast forests and the Pyrenees to the south. Although it’s not one of the cheapest places to live in France, property prices are more competitive than in other regions and with effort, it is possible to find some very well-priced properties.
If you love the great outdoors, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy exploring and taking in the magnificent scenery, from hiking in the summer to skiing in the Pyrenees in winter.
Where to live in Haute-Garonne:
A great place for young active families looking for an exciting and dynamic lifestyle with first-class educational facilities available for children. Toulouse is a hit with the French and has often been voted the most attractive place to live in France.
Toulouse is the 4th largest city in France, its nickname is La Ville Rose’ (the pink city) thanks to the colour of the roofs and bricks around the city.
Embraced by the Garonne River and the Canal du Midi, – Toulouse is energised and galvanised by the waterways – with no shortage of stunning walks and gorgeous scenery.
Toulouse has a sweet climate benefiting from warm Mediterranean summers and mild winters.
The city boasts some of the best schools in France – this includes both state schools and the International School of Toulouse, which has been established primarily for Airbus expat professionals’ children, and the company will sometimes offer tuition fees as a part of the employees’ benefits package.
The quality of education in local schools is very well regarded, and many expats (especially those who have settled in France for a long term) send their children to the local schools.
For those parents who wish their children to grow proficient in both languages, there is a wonderful organisation – English 31. It provides English classes integrated within the French school system from the first year of Primary (CP), until the end of Secondary (Terminale).
Is Toulouse a good place to live for a family? Definitely yes!
Toulouse is renowned for its higher education, with many universities, including one of the largest universities outside Paris. Toulouse is very much a city of education, research, students and scientists.
If you’re seeking a quieter life in this beautiful region, Saint Gaudens could well be your perfect location.
Saint Gaudens was originally the capital city of the Haute – Garonne area until Toulouse replaced it. A perfectly charming place to live with all the local amenities you require, including shops, doctors, schools and banks nearby.
If you fancy a day out in the city of Toulouse, Saint Gaudens is only an 80 km drive away.
Living in Saint Gaudens means you’ll be able to enjoy some amazing views across the valley of the Garonne and the Pyrenees.
If you’re a keen cyclist, you’re almost possibly already aware of the great cycling routes you can enjoy living in Saint Gaudens. The place has featured in some of the best Tour de France mountain races in history. It’s where one of the toughest stages in the races started – climbing through the Pyrenees.
The town offers expats a safe place to live in a relaxing environment, which is why it’s already very popular for both families and retired expats.
Pyrénées-Atlantiques in Aquitaine
An absolute scenic delight – with the Bay of Biscay to the west and the Pyrenees to the south. Living in Pyrenees-Atlantiques, you’ll enjoy warm summers and mild winters.
Bordeaux is a beautiful port town of 239,000 people lying along the Gironde river.
Surrounded by some of France’s most famous wine country, located just 45 minutes to an hour from the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beautiful beaches, Bordeaux is well located for broader travel, only a 3-hour train ride to Paris, and 3 hours from the Pyrenees Mountains and the border of Spain.
Bordeaux used to be regarded as one of the most trendy cities in France. However, it had lost much of its glamour by the end of the 20th century and gained a reputation for being a bit boring.
A lot of work and effort has been made to turn that around, and with restoration and construction projects sprucing up the whole city, Bordeaux is rejuvenating its popularity.
Bordeaux enjoys beautiful walks and gardens, cafes and restaurants and, of course, as you’d expect, a grand wine museum that you would not want to miss.
Public transportation in Bordeaux is excellent, with a new tram system making it easy to get around the city without needing a car.
The Rue Ste-Catherine is the longest pedestrian street in Europe and offers fantastic shopping.
Bordeaux has some of the best schools and education establishments in France: Bordeaux International School is the only bilingual school in the region. There are plenty of very good local primary and secondary schools.
For parents who may be looking to develop their own skills, there’s a wine school where you can learn everything about Bordeaux wines: what’s more, theory lessons are always based on practical sampling.
Bordeaux’s primary areas of higher education include economics and management, law and political science, and engineering.

Pau isn’t quite as grand as Bordeaux, but nonetheless very beautiful and ideal for those who want a slower lifestyle without being in a more rural location.
Pau is the second city of Aquitaine, after Bordeaux. It was originally the capital of the old historical province of Béarn.
It is located in a beautiful setting – sitting on a 200-meter elevated position that looks over the valley of the mountain river Gave de Pau. The drive to the Atlantic Coast is about 100 km, and Pau is close enough to the Pyrenees for day trips.
Known as the “Green City” and the “Garden City,” Pau has one of the highest ratios of greenery per square meter per person of any European city.
As a university city with close to 12,000 university students living on and off-campus, Pau has a lively, energetic feel about it. With an excellent range of shops and stores, you’ll enjoy your shopping trips.
The city caters exceptionally well for kids and teenagers, especially those who love sports. There’s also a full range of winter sports right on your doorstep. The town boasts an excellent sports complex where you can indulge in a huge range of sporting activities. This includes fencing and Greek wrestling if you fancy trying something a little different.
Each of these destinations scores very well for the most demanded criteria families typically want. If you’re considering relocating to France with children, we recommend you investigate both Bordeaux and Pau.
Best places to live in France if you’re planning to retire
Schools and employment prospects are far less important if you are heading towards retirement.
At the top of the retiring abroad criteria list, we have an excellent social scene, quality healthcare facilities, a friendly, vibrant location where residents are healthy and generally live long, happy lives.
The quality of the environment and the climate are ever more important factors for retirees, as is finding a location where crime is low and a good feeling of security and personal safety.
Once again, Bordeaux ranks very well and is topping the charts, this time as one of the best destinations in France to retire.
Many reasons that make Bordeaux one of the best places to live in France for families also make it highly attractive for retirees. Great leisure facilities, excellent infrastructure, the wine and food culture, fantastic entertainment all year round, and stunning architecture are some of the reasons why so many expat retirees fall in love with Bordeaux.
Bordeaux is the perfect location for an active retirement. If you want the freedom to splash in the Atlantic in summer and go skiing in winter while being able to attend entertainment events all year round, you need to investigate Bordeaux. You won’t get bored.
Bordeaux offers retirees the possibility of a well-balanced lifestyle – unrushed and well-paced, with a young active student population bringing additional life and vibrancy to the city.
The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Lyon as the 16th best city to live in Europe and 30th globally. As for many of the French themselves – they passionately rank it firmly as their number one city.
Lyon is an inland city – situated approximately 3 hours away from the coast, between two beautiful rivers, the Saône and Rhone.
Living in Lyon, you can expect to enjoy a long warm summer that runs from May until October, with much milder winters than you’ll normally experience living in the UK.
Lyon is a perfect location to retire if you’re a fan of the Alps. It is just an hour’s drive away and within very easy reach of both Italy and Switzerland for even further Alpen exploration and adventure.
If the pleasure of fine food served in some of the world’s best restaurants is your idea of retirement bliss, Lyon, as France’s culinary capital, will not disappoint you. It boasts some 2,000 restaurants, 17 of which are Michelin-starred – you will never experience a lack of choice and variety when it comes to eating out in Lyon.
The city of Lyon is also wonderfully rich in cultural life, with dozens of theatres, performance venues and museums. Lyon is set to remain a firm favourite expat retirement and lifestyle destination.
The Languedoc-Roussillon Region
A stunning area with the irresistible Mediterranean coastline on your doorstep – the Languedoc is charming and delightful. It has the same wonderful climate as the sought-after regions of Provence and Côte d’Azur – Languedoc’s select and trendy neighbours, but not nearly as crowded, possibly a little less glamorous and definitely much cheaper.
The most southern region of France, Languedoc is squeezed between the Midi-Pyrénées on the one side and Spain, Andorra and the Mediterranean Sea on the other side.
For hot weather lovers, the Languedoc climate is perfect, with sunshine-filled skies and summers that last much longer than you will ever be able to experience in the UK, even with Indian summers.
Languedoc generally has fairly mild winters. Summers can and often do get very hot, sometimes above 40C, with high levels of humidity creating conditions that result in some incredibly dramatic and powerful storms.
If you’re not a big fan of very hot weather conditions, the Languedoc may not be your ideal location.
It is, however, a fantastic climate for grapes. If you think Bordeaux is the king of wine-making – think again. The Languedoc-Roussillon Region’s vineyards are three times bigger than Bordeaux’s. One in ten bottles of the world’s wine was produced in this region during the 20th century.
Living in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, you’ll be able to enjoy a healthy Mediterranean diet – all fresh and local, fresh seafood, cheap and beautiful wine (be careful – it’s very easy to overdo) – it really is very easy to enjoy a very healthy Mediterranean lifestyle in this region of France.
If you don’t want to spend your days idling away on the beach, then you might want to look at more inland locations.
The area is rich in charming historic cities: Nimes, with its superb Roman remains, the famous walled city of Carcassonne, the former Roman provincial capital of Narbonne, and other smaller ancient cities, such as Agde.
A very well-connected region – Languedoc-Roussillon now boasts no less than eight international airports. Paris is just three hours away using the high-speed train, and Spain is just a couple of hours’ drive away.
You can easily drive for an overnight stay in Barcelona and Gerona. It’s also a reasonably easy drive across to Italy for a long weekend, or you could take a boat to the island of Corsica as a weekend alternative exploration.
There are some amazing locations to choose from if you decide to live in this region. If you like a more urban lifestyle, head to Montpellier, Nimes or Perpignan. They are the main cities of the region.
Montpellier is not as famous as Nice, but it’s on the French Riviera too. Living on the French Riviera comes with a price, so you might wonder how expensive it is to live in Montpellier. On the whole, it’s more expensive than rural areas but not as pricey as Nice.
You’ll find there are always plenty of things going on to keep you entertained in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Just about every village, even the smallest ones, hosts at least one festival or village fete every year, with many hosting what seems to be hundreds.
The main festivals and celebrations include Bastille Day in Carcassonne and Narbonne, with fantastic fireworks and lively celebrations.
Carcassonne’s music festival features top-name bands and solo artists who perform at various venues around the city from June to August. With genres of music to suit every musical taste, from opera to heavy rock, you’re bound to find something you’ll enjoy.
The Pentecost Feria of Nîmes – a big event that takes place every year around the feast of Pentecost. The Pentecost Feria lasts for a full five days, during which time there are bullfights, street parties, music, dancing, more dancing and a general atmosphere of complete craziness and celebration of life.
The Dance Festival of Montpellier – a beautiful show that runs for three weeks in June and July. The festival is a wonderful and fascinating celebration of traditional dance from all over the world.
The Winter Festival of Limoux – if you love festivals, choosing to live in Limoux may be the perfect decision. Limoux is truly the party town of the Aude region and doesn’t like to stop for a break. The winter festival of Limoux lasts from January to April, with all kinds of events taking place. There is always something new and exciting happening in this fabulous little town.
Where to live in France for the best weather
When it comes to the weather, if you’re retiring from northern Europe or the UK, you may be tempted to think hotter is better. The French tend to think it’s more important to look at climate as a whole when considering the best overall climate for the perfect lifestyle.
Hence, regions that are traditionally highly valued weather-wise in France for their milder climates rank better. Most notably, Brittany in Northern France, which juts out into the Atlantic, ranks very well.
So it’s unsurprising that the Mediterranean regions rank highest as a favourite expat destination for the best weather, especially among those retiring from Northern European countries.
South of the country is one of the best places to live in France for great weather. It offers stunning summer weather and the winters are far less harsh and much milder than in many other parts of Europe.
However, there is an important factor to bear in mind when you choose your destination based on the weather – French winds. They really do have a big influence on the local weather and can potentially spoil the fun.
For example, if you choose to live in a beautiful and mild Provence, be prepared for unbearably cold winters due to Le Mistral – a dry wind that blows down the Rhone valley to central Provence for weeks on end, making winters surprisingly cold.
There are, however, certain advantages of Le Mistral. It creates an unusually sunny climate (2700 to 2900 hours of sunshine a year).
While many parts of France are immersed in clouds and storms, Provence is rarely affected for long. The mistral wind quickly clears the sky. In less than two hours, the sky can change from completely overcast to clear blue.
However, if you would prefer some protection from harsh winds and a more sheltered climate, especially if you’re partial to some glitz, and love the idea of living the high life, then the east of the Riviera is ready and waiting to welcome you.
The microclimate on the eastern side of the Riviera is perfect – in the extreme southeast of France, the area around Cannes, Nice and Monaco is well protected from the mistral winds by the mass of the Alps.
The climate on this narrow coastal plain is pure Mediterranean, with very mild winters and warm glorious summers.
If the glamorous lifestyle of the eastern Riviera isn’t quite what you had in mind, there are some very good alternatives with more affordable properties.
If you’re not the type to let a few windy days spoil your fun, two places in the French Mediterranean are well worth investigating: Var and Bouches-du-Rhône, located in the Provence Alpes, Cote D’Azur region.
- Living In The French Riviera – Insights For Expats: everything you need to know about moving to the French Riviera (Cote D’Azur) as an expat.
- What’s It Like Living In Nice – the cost of living, the pros and cons, the highlights of the expat lifestyle, and some of the best areas to live in Nice.
France’s Bouches-du-Rhone department, named after the river Rhone, bathes in the gorgeous Mediterranean climate of Southern France. A lifestyle beckons with sunshine-filled days, outdoor activities and extremely delicious food.
Bouches-du-Rhone is the busiest department in the south of France; the major cities are Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, where you can enjoy the bustle of busy city life with excellent shops and restaurants and the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city.
Away from the cities, you will be able to enjoy beautiful beach resorts and unspoilt areas like the Camargue, where you can watch flamingos living in the wild.
It is a true cyclist’s paradise with world-class cycle routes where you can enjoy the famous e-bike tours of Marseille. If you’re not a big fan of steep hills, you’ll be pleased that much of Bouches-du-Rhône is relatively flat; cycling can be pleasurable for everyone.
There are also plenty of historical sites, including the ruins of the Roman city of Glanum, the medieval village of Les Baux de Provence and Alphonse Daudet’s windmill at Fontvieille.
Var is a beautiful little secret of Provence, which hides many gems of this stunning French department coastline and inland alike.
It includes some of the most attractive resorts of the western Cote d’Azur, the Massif des Maures – a series of low mountains behind the coast of Var where villages cling to the hillside overlooking the sea; and, of course, the superb Cotes de Provence wine region which runs east to west across the department.
If you’re a devoted gardener, you’ll love this region of France, especially if you’re drawn to exotic plants – the climate is perfect for less ordinary gardens. The area has always been used as a nursery to grow all kinds of flora and then supply the whole country, so you won’t have to go far to source those exotic blooms.
Hyères is the oldest resort on the French Riviera and is also famous for cultivating palm trees. An incredibly beautiful location to choose to live in. Just 4 km from the coast it’s close enough for a quick drive to the beach. Yet, Hyères is inland enough to deliver a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle.
With 300 days of sunshine a year, Hyères rivals Amsterdam as the Continent’s biggest supplier of cut flowers.
The city is filled with magnificent mansions and villas contrasted by narrow medieval streets and passageways running up the hill towards the citadel.
At the foot of the hill are salt marshes with flamingos, a fishing port, a world championship kite-surfing beach and the three islands just a short distance off the coast that together form the Port Cros National Park.
Hyères delivers an ideal blend of city sophistication and a calmer and gentler lifestyle.
The city is well-connected: the railway station Gare d’Hyères offers connections with Toulon, Marseille, Paris, and several regional destinations.
The airport, known officially as the Toulon-Hyères International Airport, is 4 km (2.5 mi) to the southeast of the town centre.
The best places to live in France – summary
There are more wonderful locations in France than mentioned in our guide. If you are looking for a historic charm that won’t break the bank, consider moving to Normandy. There’s Alsace for those who love the spirit of continental Europe; there’s Brittany for country living. Or you can consider living in Paris if that’s what you want.
Rating and surveys are a brilliant way to start researching the best places to live in France. However, the only way to really find your own perfect location is to experience it yourself.
So, if you’re looking for somewhere to live in France and your intentions are serious – visit the chosen location, connect to local expats, go on forums and make sure you know the place well and feel it’s perfect for you before you commit to buying any property.
We wish you luck and success in building your new life in France.

I am obver 70 lived in uk first 40 5 in cuprus and the rest in Arizona usa. All family in UK but want to move nearer of course weather a consideration so Languedoc is i. Ky mind. Do you know any internet sites or blogs would help me to start. My french is what a sixteen year old learnt i. uK. I loved reading your blog
Hi Barbara, you have chosen a beautiful place.
We have a detailed guide on Toulouse – the largest city in Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées and a very popular place for expats: https://expatra.com/guides/france/living-in-toulouse/
Otherwise, there isn’t that much information on moving to Languedoc online, you might want to consider joining relevant FB groups such as English speakers in Languedoc-Roussillon, France, or The Languedoc Page. This way you will get access to people who live there and can answer all your questions.
Hope this helps, good luck with your relocation.
Would love a section in this informational guide to those of us who would like to live car free and what areas lend well to public trans and plain old walking! Any suggestions?
We dream of edge of village and walking into town for the local marketplace but a town large enough to meet our expat and visa needs.
thanks! Love this site
Hello Kat, thank you so much for your compliment on Expatra, it is a lovely website.
First of all, car free could be a slight problem in France, but that depends on what you mean with your expat and visa needs…could you explain?
Because of course there are lovely villages that are not too big and have all the first needs like a supermarket, bakery, pharmacist, doctor, etc. but if you are looking for more than that and you don’t want to use a car and only public transport you might have to go to a bigger city. But of course, there are always exceptions, I myself for example live in Saint Gengoux le National in Burgundy, in the department Saône et Loire. You can read all about it here: https://expatra.com/guides/france/living-in-saone-et-loire-france/
It has all the facilities I mentioned above, the charm of a medieval village, and also public transport (a bus) that can bring you to other villages or bigger cities like Tournus or Chalon sur Saône. If you would like to know more or if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact me through my profile https://expatra.com/author/maritgrotenhuis/

First, I know I was suppose to have the second part of the delamination process done today, but the manufacture hasn’t gotten the information to me yet. Hopefully it will be ready for next weekend.
We are Sherwood Forest until Wednesday then we will be heading to Mobile, AL for 2 weeks. I can’t believe that the Winter is coming to an end and it is time to leave FL. It has been a great Winter! We saw Manatees, a couple rocket launches, met some new friends, got back together with some old friends. Learned some new board games, made repairs on the rig, got the car fixed, broke the car, waiting for the car to be fixed again. Watched some great sunsets, woke up to some peaceful mornings watching the river go by.
I think I am over the Peaceriveritis. It is a illness that I hope to catch again next year. Not sure if Sherwood Forest has any specific illnesses, but it has been a great place to stay.
I think you will start to see some videos showing up here soon. I am thinking of taking some of the pictures we have taken of our time here and using Camtasia to create something unique. I really like the Camtasia software.

NEW HOTEL SEARCH
out of 8 reviews
The courtyard and parking lot first seen on arrival are a little off putting. But the room was very pleasant and the view from the balcony was lovely - a park with trees and lots of birds.
When we arrived within there working hours, nobody was in the reception office, there was no courtesy phone to contact the owner, we had to use a strangers mobile phone as we had a flat battery from the flight to Coolangatta. A bit frustrating to say the lease.
“Nice and simple”
The hotel was simple and had all the basics needed for a place to crash. It was close to the beach and the heart of Coolangatta but just far enough away to avoid any bustle noise. Though the beds weren't the commies and the shower leaked the staff were lovely and very helpful.
Conveniently situated to local restaurants and sea front within walking distance, quiet location, room was a bit tired and basic but comfortable.
it was ok, but not as described. The bathroom not clean and quite mouldy smelling
“Beware of the one bedroom apartments”
Forget one bedroom apartments, mine had three single beds. There are no windows or air con. The front door must be kept open at all times for air flow, especially for the bathroom which is an internal room at the rear of the apartment. Well away from beaches but a short walk across a park to shops and facilities. The motel laundry backs onto the bathroom wall and washers and dryers can create shuddering during the day. Inexpensive but pay the extra for a motel room upstairs.
My partner and I were arriving late and leaving early the next day for the airport. The staff were good ensuring our room was left open for us and we just had to close the door the next morning so in that respect it was good. Staying there one night was definetely enough. The room was small and dingey (brick walls), there was no hot water for a shower and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It didnt seem to be very clean either, there were cobwebs and spiders in the roof corners and I hate spiders so wasnt too impressed. It was also more than 2km away from the airport.
Hotel does not offer late check in and 'duty' manager was almost impossible to contact. Was not until we were standing in another hotel's foyer that we got a call back. Room was noisy and uncomfortable, got an hour's sleep if that. Woke up early to find no hot water in the shower. Worst hotel experience of my life.

Bord Gáis Energy and Peter Dowdall inspire you to Imagine a better way to enjoy your garden
Expert gardener, Peter Dowdall reveals his top tips on how to make your garden a sustainable sanctuary this summer
New research by Bord Gáis Energy, the leading services and energy provider, reveals that almost half of us (49%) say our relationship with our home has changed over the last year with 58% saying they now value their home now more than ever.
However, it’s not just indoors where we’re starting to think differently about the spaces we live in. Of the 46% of us planning to make changes to our homes this year, upgrading the garden and outdoor spaces came in top of the list with over half of respondents keen to spruce up the shrubbery, followed by a desire amongst 41% of respondents to make their property more sustainable.
Following a long winter indoors, the garden has become an oasis in homes across the nation with almost two thirds (63%) of us saying the garden is the place where we relax and now entertain, with 31% of us taking to dining alfresco in our garden.
To inspire householders to get the most from their home, Bord Gáis Energy has teamed up with expert gardener and sustainability advocate Peter Dowdall to put together top tips on how to make your garden your very own sustainable sanctuary at home this summer.
- Consider colour
Using plants which bloom at different times of the year not only provides a food source for the pollinating insects throughout the seasons, but it also makes our gardens much more beautiful over a longer period of time allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces all year round.
To create a relaxing and beautiful space throughout the year, imagine how you want your garden to look at different times of the year. Think about planting some spring flowering bulbs in the autumn, such as Crocus, Muscari, Daffodils and Tulips, followed up by Alliums and summer flowering perennials. These will extend the season of colour right into late autumn.
2. Find the balance
A good garden is all about maintaining the natural balance. This means allowing a wide diversity of species to thrive in the garden to protect against the unnatural build-up of one species. The best example of this is slugs. Hedgehogs and larger birds are natural predators for this common garden pest, but many people apply slug pellets containing Metaldehyde which will kill the slugs and snails but are toxic to their predators. This means the slug population will increase again faster than their predators, meaning the natural balance has been damaged. These pellets are also toxic to domestic pets and humans.
There are plenty of environmentally sound ways to control slugs with pellets containing Ferric phosphate both effective and safe to surrounding wildlife. Barrier products range from crushed eggshells, coffee grounds and other everyday items to slate mulch, copper tape and even pellets made from sheep's wool. Barrier products create a layer on top of the soil which slugs, and snails cannot get over and thus you are leaving a healthy food source for the birds and hedgehogs, whilst keeping your plants damage free.
3. Waste not, want not
Both kitchen and garden waste can easily be composted to provide you with a rich source of fresh garden soil. The trick is to make sure you add a good mixture of ingredients and don't simply fill your compost bin with one material. I like to use a compost tumbler; these rotate a bit like a lottery draw drum and makes turning and agitating the composting material very easy
4. Feed the bees
We simply couldn’t exist without them and many are now under threat, so it’s important that we use plants in the gardens which will provide them with food. Avoid intensively hybridized, F1 hybrid bedding plants as these are useless to bees in terms of pollen and nectar. Simple flowers such as single daisies and dahlias are better for bees than intricate double-petalled flowers. If you can leave a patch of your lawn area to grow wild, then this will provide a nutrient-rich meadow area for bees and other wildlife to feed and to nest.
Imagine a better way at home event
To inspire householders, Bord Gáis Energy has teamed up with a panel of well-known home experts - TV gardener Peter Dowdall, award winning and internationally renowned interior designer Suzie McAdam and former resident quantity surveyor on RTÉ’s Room to Improve, Lisa O’Brien to host ‘Imagine a better way at home’, a virtual event taking place on Wednesday 21st July from 12pm – 1pm.
The panel of experts will share their top tips and expert advice on how to get the most out of your
redesigns and renovation projects whether you’re imagining redoing your garden to trying to make
your home more sustainable.
The event is free and to secure your place, simply register at http://www.imagineabetterway.eventbrite.ie/

The 29-year-old singer and 22-year-old actress, who got engaged in October, sent their love to Chopra in Instagram posts Sunday following the Quantico star's engagement to Jonas' brother Nick Jonas.
Joe Jonas and Turner both posted a photo of Nick Jonas and Chopra gazing into each other's eyes. Chopra's diamond engagement ring is visible in the picture.
"I couldn't be happier for my brother. Welcome to the family @priyankachopra," Joe captioned his post. "We love you."
"Wow. First I'm blessed with an incredible future brother-in-law, and now such an beautiful, inside and out, future sister-in-law. I'm so excited to welcome you into the family @priyankachopra. I love you both @nickjonas," Turner wrote.

"Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love," Nick wrote.
"Taken.. With all my heart and soul," Chopra said.
Turner discussed her own engagement in the May issue of Marie Claire. The actress, who plays Sansa Stark on the HBO series Game of Thrones, said she's excited to marry but remains focused on her career.
"It's lovely to be engaged. Not like I achieved anything, but I found my person, like I'd find a house that I love and to stay in forever. There's a sense of peace that comes with finding your person. But there's a drive that comes with your career," she said.

A perfect pie is one part beautiful pastry to one part delightful
filling, all lovingly finished with a dollop of good old-fashioned
A perfect pie is one part beautiful pastry to one part delightful filling, all lovingly finished with a dollop of good old-fashioned story. The inaugural winner of Bakers Journal’s Ultimate Pie contest sponsored by BakeMark lives up to this pie promise with its Atlantic Canadian Seafood Pie, but such mastery does not happen overnight.
|Chef Megan Anatol says trial and error was a key process in developing the pie’s creamy, chowder-like filling.
Masstown Market started as a farm stand in 1969 as a place for Eric Jennings to sell his produce. Over the next 40 years, bakery, deli, dairy, fish, alcohol, restaurant and gift sections hatched to form what is now a full-fledged food paradise for Nova Scotia locals and tourists alike. While Masstown may have grown, its roots haven’t changed. The market is focused on procuring and selling local fare that is stamped with the high quality of small-batch craftsmanship.
The bakery at Masstown has a storied history, at one point disappearing before making an impressive comeback. In 2009, the bakery expanded in size and equipment with the intention of boosting production, says Eric’s son Laurie Jennings, who owns and operates Masstown with his wife, Lisa (Eric is still very active in the business). The bakery is the second biggest department, he says (produce is first). Six bakers a day work seven days a week to create the still-from-scratch breads, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and hundreds of other unique products made with local ingredients. Brenda Mcmullen, who has been with Masstown over 20 years and bakery manager for the last 10, and Jonie Johnson, are the hands behind the seafood pie pastry crust that pleased the Ultimate Pie judges so much. Mcmullen says the secret to her vegetable-based pie crust is all in the touch.
“It’s how the dough feels in my hands, there’s a special feel.” Although, she says it took a while for her to master her magic touch. “The first few years, the way I was mixing, you could stretch it from me to you,” she says with a chuckle.
Masstown was selling about 30 to 40 seafood pies a week until it won the Ultimate Pie crown. Now, Jennings says, the market sells about 300 a week. The local media, Atlantic television and Canada AM picked up the story. Jennings had a special new label made for the pie declaring it a winner.
|Mike DeSaulniers, seafood manager, and Megan Anatol with Masstown’s award-winning seafood pie.
When Jennings first saw the pie contest advertised in Bakers Journal, he got to talking with his seafood manager Mike DeSaulniers, about what might make a winner. The market had a good pie-making reputation in Nova Scotia, making use of abundant Apple Valley apples and showcasing mincemeat at Christmas. Their seafood pie was inspired by the thoughtful act of a gentleman named Gerald Legere, who owned a fish market and sold a lot of jarred clams to DeSaulniers. Legere, who has since passed on, brought a processed seafood pie to him to try and it sparked the idea for Masstown to make its own based on a local theme of fresh, quality ingredients. Seafood at Masstown is 90 per cent local, says DeSaulniers, with deliveries coming five to seven days a week if needed. The market’s location near the Bay of Fundy means that seasonally they can sell lobster, flounder, clams and some haddock nearly from their backyard. The Bay of Fundy is home to the Minas Basin, an inlet that boasts the highest tides on the planet. The Catch of the Bay fish market is a pretty new addition to the Masstown stable, having opened about a year and a half ago. DeSaulniers joined the team two years ago to help with the launch, which involved building a 75-foot-high lighthouse that also features an interactive area where visitors can learn more about Nova Scotia.
Megan Anatol, manager of Masstown’s Catch of the Day Fish & Chip Boat, is the chef behind the seafood pie’s hearty filling. When it comes to recipe development, she says she likes to start with an idea or ingredient and work backwards. In the case of their seafood pie, the thought was to base it on traditional seafood chowder. On the technical side, Anatol found it challenging to nail down a seafood filling that could be baked and set yet remain creamy.
“It took trial and error,” she says. “Small batches, at most 12 pies at a time . . . It’s very rewarding to have a product that people buy as a gift or for a special occasion. Tastes are different here and I’m from Ontario so it’s great to come up with something that is crowd pleaser here.”
|Masstown was selling 30 to 40 seafood pies a week prior to winning the Ultimate Pie contest. Jennings says the market sells about 300 a week since being crowned the Ultimate Pie.
For Masstown, the seafood pie is more than just tasty. It represents the mandate of the business that started as a farm stand and grew to about 120 employees. Jennings was born in 1965 so he was just a tot when his father started out, but he learned about business early.
“I always had a little vegetable garden as a kid that I sold to Dad,” says Jennings. “I worked at the market but when I got out of high school I thought ‘no way’ and went to university.”
Jennings got a degree in science and biology and went to work in the corporate world, but came back in 1989 and married Lisa, who looks after the gift shop. He has teenage boys now, the first in university. Jennings loves the story behind things, perhaps a part of his nature evident in his early pursuit of science, but it’s certainly become a hallmark of his business acumen.
“The story and the quality and the story that goes along with it is something that somebody can’t replicate. Anybody can beat you on price or product any given day. Supermarkets used to sell bread for 99 cents and we’re not in that game.”
Jennings is surely succeeding at the game he’s in. Last year he counted over a million customers (by transaction), most of those families of some kind. The eastern economy is notoriously difficult to survive in these days, but Jennings is thriving. He knows you need to give people reasons to come and that’s why he dedicated space in the lighthouse to providing information about the area.
“My tongue in cheek notion of customer service is that the longer you stay here the more money you spend. Most people know about Cape Breton and Peggy’s Cove, so we have the opportunity to teach them something more.”
|Mike DeSaulniers, Masstown’s seafood manager, prepares the pie’s filling.
Jennings takes every opportunity to turn a trip to the market into a story about Nova Scotia for people when products are ripe for the picking. At the height of apple season he brings out an old press from 1904 Eaton’s catalogue and makes juice from the 20 or so varieties Nova Scotia produces, brings in a band and has suppliers come in to sample their wares.
“The ultimate goal is to send people away with something they didn’t expect to get, whether it’s a smile, idea or recipe; that’s what they talk about and that’s what they tell their family and friends.”
What customers can always expect at Masstown is a commitment to local. It’s what the market has done since Day 1, and Jennings sees it as good business sense.
“I’d like you to experience the artisanship of the farm but it’s not always convenient. So, you can come here. We’ve got good quality products at a fair price that are unique and you can’t get just anywhere. It makes a lot of sense not just ‘cause we’re nice guys . . . . There should always be a win-win-win. We have to make some money, customers have to not mind leaving some money behind and our suppliers have to make some money. You don’t gain much by taking one of those out in the long term.”
Masstown’s seafood pie has become a bonus win for the team, who are basking in the success of a truly ultimate pie.
