What remains are a few posts from the last 5 years, and an occasional beauty shot from earlier years. I&#8217;ve kept the still-relevant photo essays from Scandinavia, all done just before the pandemic created chaos. And there&#8217;s one post from the year 2000 when we came zooming back to France, quickly purchased a house to renovate, and Mark spent that year gutting a 200-plus-years-old village house in Brittany, turning it into our safe haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo essay sites are not popular the way they were when I set up this site in 2009. The world has moved on and video formats are what audiences want now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We too are about to transition into video &#8212; with a new name and new links. I&#8217;ll be on a steep learning curve as I learn video editing, overlaying tracks of music, and the lengthy steps to getting it all online in a harmonious way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for the years that you&#8217;ve been with us, and (fingers crossed!) I&#8217;ll be sharing our NEW SITE within the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bye for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve had 15 wonderful years of A Wanderful Life, but now it&#8217;s time for some changes.
