Beth Haslam

    Raised on a country estate in Wales, Beth Haslam's childhood was steeped in the outdoors, spent riding horses, assisting gamekeepers, and sailing. A serious car accident in 1991 prompted her to establish her own consultancy business. As semi-retirement approached, a move to France with her husband became a transformative experience. She swapped technology for an immersion in French culture and language, dedicating herself to animal rescue, writing, and fully embracing rural French life.
