A Hoyland Common business couple are planning a blissful retirement in France - and one of them has now penned a book about the search for their dream home.
Steven and Susan King, both 62, own Herbal Floral and Victorian Delights gift shop and tea room on Hoyland Road.
The couple have now found their dream home in France - an ancient water mill 'ruin' in Cayriech in the mid Pyrenees - and are busy rebuilding it.
Steven has written a book, 'Captain's French Adventures', about finding the property, buying it and renovating it.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
