Martin Waddell

E-mail Print PDF

Martin Waddell has a background in commercial law, small and high technology company investment. He has spent over 20 years helping such businesses be launched. What became clear to Martin early on, was that the personal financial goals of small and new business owners are inextricably linked to the business's themselves. This lead to the development of personal financial advisory services, providing a one-stop-shop for such clients.

The sunshine, the Med and the mountains, not to mention a tax & social security regime beneficial to large families led to Martin choosing to settle his family of six in the Languedoc area. He now provides regulated personal financial services in France as part of the highly respected Spectrum-IFA Group [ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ] and business consultancy services through his own brand Sud-de-France [www.sud-de-france.co.uk]. All Spectrum related advice is free to clients and business consulting initial meetings are non-chargeable.

If you need advice including mortgages, financial planning, investments, pensions, tax or even family life in France Martin is pleased to help. Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Julia Child: My Life in France

If, like me until recently, you had never knowingly heard of Julia Child, it will help to understand that she was, so to speak, America’s answer to Elizabeth David.  It was she who, after the second world war, introduced the dishes and techniques of French cooking to, principally, her countrywomen.  I had been aware of, but never read, her encyclopaedic work Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but could not have told you who had written it (or even that it was an American book).  In fact, Julia Child later parted company from Elizabeth David: while David went on to explore the cuisines of Italy and other Mediterranean countries, Child stuck to that of France but developed her teaching skills into pioneering television cookery programmes decades before they came to clog up our TV channels on a daily basis.

 

Sarah's Midnight Anthology

A year ago I introduced readers of this website to an old friend, Sarah Nock, who had written an insightful  –  and surprisingly funny  –  account of what it is like to suffer from Parkinson’s disease.  (My review of Ponderings on Parkinson’s is still on-site.)  Now she has published another book of a quite different kind: an anthology of verse, but one with a difference.
