About Annemarie Rawson
Annemarie is a New Zealander who collects new ‘best friends’ wherever she goes. In her 50’s she and her husband, Steve, packed up the house, rented it out, kissed her family and friends goodbye and moved 12,000 km to South West France to work as estate managers for several private families — swapping corporate, city life for animal husbandry and the French countryside.
Annemarie loves people, animals, travelling, interior design and creating delicious food to welcome people into her home and at her table.
After a stint back in New Zealand, Annemarie decided (at 60) it was time for another adventure and did exactly the same thing, packing up the house but this time moving to London. Just on three years later they have explored more of London than some Londoners and have bounced around the UK and parts of Europe, capturing it all in photos and blogs, combining these into her latest book, Late Life Adventures in London and Beyond.

No idea they’ll need to live in filth, rely on dilapidated equipment and deal with a belligerent boss. Will the mouth-watering food she creates, the wonderful people they meet and the glorious French countryside help them salvage their dreams of life abroad or will they need to rethink their future?
