Summary
With Charlotte on her summer holidays (advice on how to find a partner with parents who retire to France within!) it's time to open up the electronic mail bag and see what's inside.
Charlotte and Liv answer your questions on finding time for hobbies (or trying to manifest a weekly crafts club), share probably the best party theme that's every been thought of, and read our some listener telly recommendations.
We'll be back next with regular programming, and hopefully many tales from sunny France (and suburban south London)! In the meantime, you can send in your own questions, party themes, or just about anything you can think of to thefringeofit@gmail.com, or you can send us a message on IG @fringeofit.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the fringe of it. It's a little summer holiday special. Here we are, Charlotte, |
| 0:12.9 | you're on holiday. I know. I don't know if I mentioned it quite enough in the last episode, |
| 0:18.3 | but for anybody that may have missed it, I am on my annual summer |
| 0:23.2 | holiday. |
| 0:24.0 | Where are you? |
| 0:24.8 | Can you just tell us where you are? |
| 0:26.8 | I am in the French countryside. |
| 0:28.9 | I am visiting my in-laws. |
| 0:30.6 | I cannot recommend enough finding a man and then waiting maybe like a decade and then them selling their family home |
| 0:41.8 | and then buying and retiring to France. |
| 0:45.8 | Okay. Noted. |
| 0:48.5 | Yeah, it's quite a specific, you know, specific journey. |
| 0:52.5 | But we've been going on holiday there. They moved there, ironically, in |
| 0:57.0 | January 2020. I mean, spoiler, we all know what happened next. But we've been going on holiday there. |
| 1:02.4 | This will be our fifth year and I love it. Oh, and was there just to help us out as listeners and me, |
| 1:09.6 | were there any signs when you met Jack and started courting that his family would retire to France? |
| 1:16.3 | Just so we know what to look out for if we're looking for that kind of holiday situation in the future? |
| 1:23.1 | Absolutely none whatsoever. |
| 1:24.9 | Okay, thank you. |
| 1:26.6 | Right then. |
| 1:27.2 | Yeah, no worries. Cool. Can't wait to hear about your holiday next week. But for today, we thought we do a little, we didn't want to leave you hanging. We didn't want to not put out an episode even though one of us is sunning themselves in Le Francaise. So what we thought we'd do is just we delve through our post bag. |
