Welcome to my website

My name is Patricia Marchand,

I am a French lady who has been living in the UK for over 50 years,

mostly in Chelmsford Essex.

There were no special reasons for coming to the UK just happened after meeting a Yorkshire lad in Paris and for all those asking, yes I have been working all that time!

Now retired, after more than 30 years in the IT industry developing database applications I decided to tap on my keyboard my memoirs and stories.

The first book I have written is about my 4 years battle with the world of builders trying to make few home improvements.  Some home improvements have been really beneficial, while others have been similar in living in a nightmare of really bad builders found in directories I trusted to vet those builders.
