Who's who ?

Born in San Francisco, California, James Lawrence “Larry” Barnett, grew up on the beach in San Diego, dropped out of uni, and bummed around the yacht harbors for several years, sailing and fixing boats for a “living”. Relocating to the SF Bay area, Larry joined the US Coast Guard and later married his only and current wife, Marina. She really liked the uniform. Eventually, he went back to college where he graduated with a tech degree and began a long career that followed the ups and downs of the computer industry for 30 years. Now retired, Larry and Marina have relocated to the Pau area with their dog Louie. They also have two wonderful children who, sadly, do not live in France.

I am British and came to Pau in late 2009 with my husband for his work. He has since retired but we have chosen to stay. We have 2 adult children and 3 grandchildren who live in the UK. We have lived all over the world over the last 40 years. My interests include walking, socialising, computing, kayaking and board game playing

I’m British but have not lived in the U.K. since 1975. We came to Pau in 2004 after living and working in Switzerland and then spending 10 years in the Jura region. I enjoy travelling - which is just as well as our son and family live in Australia and daughter in the U.K. My hobbies include crafting, reading, walking and the occasional game of golf.

British-born, I arrived in Pau in September 1988, and married my French husband in 1990. We have 2 adult children who both live in France. I have a full time job, tho my husband recently retired. Unsurprisingly, one of my main interests is reading (mostly fiction), but also baking, swimming, yoga, singing (being part of St Andrews Pau church choir). I’ve been a member of APP for about 30 years.

I’m British and live in Espoey with my French husband and son (born 2011).

We moved from the UK in 2013 and lived on the coast, near Bayonne, before settling here, which we much prefer.

I enjoy walking and coordinate the Monday morning walking group.

I’m also a board game addict, both collecting and playing, and organize weekly meet ups.

I arrived in Bearn after my retirerment, to live close to my son and family. I like to walk on country roads and discover the heritage of this area. I like to meet news friends and share with them, moments of friendship and mutual exchanges
