Tottie and her eccentric family moved to France in search of a better life for her nearly nonogenarian mother who suffered from dementia. As her full-time carer, Tottie listened to daily recitations of her favourite saying 'Mother, mother, it's a bugger, sell the pig and buy me out.”
Catch up now with Tottie in the AM years – After Mother – as she starts her new life in the rural Livradois-Forez region of the Auvergne, living in Tottie's Grottage.

Discover the procedure behind the Frogification of Tottie, and if her bid for French nationality is successful.

Having now read the full 'Sell the Pig' trilogy, I can heartily say, HUZZAH! I preordered both the Kindle and hard cover, just to be sure I'd get one of them as quickly as possible. I have always admired people who have the courage to leave their homes and move into an entirely new situation. Who are these people? What makes them tick? In her books, Tottie lets the reader into her life which is joyful and optimistic and real. She is a bright, interesting, and interested person. In this latest offering, she explores her new digs in France and brings us along for the ride. Meeting her neighbors and their animals, taking in rescue dogs, dealing with customer service reps, French bureaucrats, doctors and mechanics: daily life stuff for sure, yet she captivates the reader.This is more than a travel book (albeit a great one). It's a story of a "mad" "English" "hippie" who has created an envious life for herself and graciously shares it with us. Now I can begin the waiting for what comes next, or perhaps, before!

Mother was it worth it? The Sell The Pig Series Book 3 eBook Tottie Limejuice Reviews
The author seems to write so easily about her life and experiences in her adopted homeland. The prose just flows seamlessly. She makes the reader imagine he or she is feeling, hearing, smelling and seeing everything in person. I really enjoyed this series of books and am so glad I read them all. Hard to pick a favorite because they each are so easy to read and so enjoyable. I would recommend reading them in order, though. 1. Sell the Pig. 2. Is that Billinge Lump? 3. Mother, Was it Worth it?
This was a most enjoyable book, following the author's life in France as she settles into her own home. The writing style is very down to earth and the reader can easily get the feeling that they are sitting with an old friend and listening to life stories. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Sell the Pig series, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good light reading book, writing in a very honest style, about carving out a life in a new country.
Having read and loved the first two books of the series, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen when Tottie decided to move out of The Pink House and live on her own. As always, a fun and funny read. I'm really impressed with the way she immerses herself in the French culture and language, and decides to apply for French citizenship, to make sure she'll never have to return to the UK.
Well, this was great--so glad to finally have you get on with your life story. If you have read the first two books you will love this one but it can stand on its own. How can a woman on her own in her 60's take a house that is nothing but walls and a roof and develop it into the home she loves. There is also the cow barn that has to be sorted so the cats have a place to stay away from dogs. I fell like Tottie is my closest friend, that is how her writing makes you feel. I feel like I am talking on the phone to my friend that lives in France. The books lets us experience life in a small French area and of course we all want to go and live there and then Tottie would have to move as she doesn't like life in crowded places. When her friends come to visit we get to see area's of France as though we were on a tour. I enjoyed this book so much that I want to read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks Tottie for letting us in on your trial and tribulations!
Okay, I know that's not your real name! I really loved your story. It's not just any sixty-plus lady who would be willing to take on all you did, fight all those battles with French burocracy, handle some health problems, and fix up a "grotty cottage"! "Tottie" (it's not her name, but the tale is true) has to be admired for her guts and humour.
She fixes up (what sounds like) a lost-cause cottage in the Auvergne, with the usual problems with handymen. Yet she must have a charm of her own, because the French people she comes into contact with sound mostly like pleasant, reasonable and reliable people. Of course the fact that she speaks French must help a lot!
I liked her never-give-up attitude, and her willingness to entertain a few visitors and ferry them around in what sounded like a rather iffy vehicle. I would urge people of 55+ who believe they're over the hill and should do nothing more than knit something for a grandchild, to read this book and realise life does not stop just because you get older!
Thanks Tottie -- a very good read. I haven't read your other books, and hope to get round to them.
I have just finished the latest memoir from Tottie Limejuice and enjoyed it very much indeed. I felt as if I was on a lovely visit with a good friend and caught up nicely with what has been happening to her since the last instalment. Ms Limejuice has a wicked sense of humour which manifests itself in her use of words, great fun! Such a pleasure to have such wry observation on the subject of making a permanent home off the beaten track in France. I really enjoyed the details of the renovation of her Grottage together with her description of the many side trips she took exploring the Auvergne region, very entertaining. I highly recommend all three of her books.
This series is entertaining as the English author describes her move to a tiny settlement in the Auvergne region of central France. This third book in the series is my favorite thus far, as she adds touches of humor when she recounts her escapades in her new home of France. Will she succeed in her attempt to become a French citizen? No spoiler from me as she works with the dreaded French bureaucracy to achieve that goal. Can she transform the cottage and add electricity, running water and a septic system? What is the “bitey snake”?; the answer is the camera she swallowed for her endoscopy. Tottie wrote that it was like swallowing a live anaconda. I hope that is her imagination and that she has not, in fact, swallowed a live anaconda (ha ha). Tottie gives funny names to things in her life, calling her cottage “the grottage”, grotty and cottage combined. She is sure some of her neighbors think of her as “that eccentric English lady who lives alone in the countryside.” I think she sounds like a fun neighbor.
