We are fast approaching Christmas here in the South of France so I am honoured that the Ambassador  agreed to pop in on this episode to share a Christmas message . 

I met him back in November originally as the Embassy and Consulate team  visited Nice as part of their French tour ..these were free  meetings with the British Expats here chatting Brexit among other things.

I summed the meeting up in episode 25 so you can go back and listen to that via rivierafirefly.com/25 we plan to do another update in 2018 as things for us Brits here become clearer.

it was a great end to my year to be able to reconnect with the Ambassador then in December which comes up in just a few moments.
