Synopsis

How to Wash a Goat: Expanded and revised :The Truth About Moving to and Living in France
So, you’ve dreamed of escaping to the French countryside—fresh baguettes, rolling vineyards, and charming stone cottages. Lovely. Now forget all that. This is the real story.
In How to Wash a Goat, one brave (or possibly delusional) soul recounts the hilariously unfiltered journey of trading a predictable life for one filled with goat-wrangling, bureaucratic battles, and the kind of DIY disasters that would make a builder weep. From the moment the dream of “a simple life in France” collides with reality, you’ll be laughing, cringing, and nodding along—especially if you’ve ever tried to assemble IKEA furniture with instructions in French.
This isn’t your typical expat memoir. This Expanded and revised edition was wrangled by a proud dyslexic with a little AI polish — expect humanity, not perfection.It’s a survival guide and has lists for anyone who’s ever thought, “I could totally live in a rural farmhouse and grow my own vegetables.” Spoiler: you probably can’t. But you’ll enjoy reading about someone who tried.
Whether you're planning your own escape or just want to feel better about staying put, this book delivers:

• Unvarnished truths about French village life (yes, the goats are real)
• Side-splitting anecdotes involving plumbing, pastries, and passive-aggressive neighbours
• Hard-earned wisdom on navigating French paperwork, cultural quirks, and the occasional existential crisis

Perfect for fans of David Sedaris, Bill Bryson, or anyone who’s ever Googled “how to fix a roof with no experience,” How to Wash a Goat is your passport to the messy, magical, and mildly ridiculous world of rural France.
