PROGRAMME 1
BRITTANY

BRIAN & MARIE FARRELL
Brian and Marie moved to Ireland from Birmingham over two years ago. Both born to first generation Irish parents, they had always wanted to move back home for a better quality of life. Marie's family come from Cavan and Brian's from Offaly, they both holidayed there a lot growing up. They say they chose Galway as a good in between spot for Offaly and Cavan. They have 4 children, Molly 7yrs, Keavey 5 yrs and twins Maisy and Loughlin 3yrs. Marie is a nurse although no longer works as she is busy as a Mum and Brian is a landscape gardener.

They are looking for a family home around Brittany, in an area that is family orientated. Areas that they are interested in include:- Caurel, Lac De Guerledan, , Mur de Bretagne. These areas are in the centre of Brittany just north of Lorient. They have friends with five kids who live in Moribhan near the Lac. They have been to the area a only once. And at that time they looked at eight properties. They liked one but it was out of their budget. They are looking for a typically French looking house, with stonework and old beams. They would like a 2 bedroom house with a loft or some other type of space for renovation. Brian renovated their current house and is prepared to do some renovation work over time. He says that the roof needs to be in good repair. Ideally there would be a liveable area to begin with. When they have found a place they would be driving over to France from Rosslare to Roscoff. Marie and the kids may get to spend longer there in the summer than Brian, but he can follow by plane as there is a direct flight from Galway to Lorient, which is nearby.
