Hello Friend,

In response to this:

I would advise you that the French system is only geared for full time successful entreprises.

If you only work part-time then you may not earn enough to pay into health or pension.

Years of scratching an unsuccessful semi-living here will only impoverish you in the future.

You should also consider continue paying voluntary U.K pension contributions whilst overseas.

Frankly, business here is hard and it really sucks.

Think again about coming here unless you speak French and or are married to a French national.

There is a French dream but that is all it is unless you are rich and retired.

Ty

hi jarnii without giving too much away i'm further west than Tremp.Tee surgery as such is in its infancy here most jobs being done from access platforms.Street trees , on the whole are well cared for but a lot of hacking/butchery goes on.The forestry sector is a bit more up to date with some large professional companies at work all over northen Spain but the quality/productivity of the work is still some way away from northen european standards.Most local authorities/town halls have there own in house teams & Spanish foñk tend to live in apartments so proper tree surgery jobs are thin on the ground - i do gardening ,fencing ,carpentry & building work to keep the wolf from the door
