Kate Veach and her husband Nathan were already living a life very connected to France with a French restaurant in Geelong outside of Melbourne, Australia but always dreamed of living in France, so just prior to COVID they made the decision to get serious about achieving their dream. They knew they loved Burgundy so drew a circle around Beaune with a limit of an hour travel distance and found their dream property 56 minutes from the epicentre of their search!They had a brief to follow for the search of being in a village, walking distance to amenities, with a cellar and in a wine area. None of which was in the final property! They have found a property in a hamlet 3kms from a village with a number of outbuildings and some land which they found online during the Melbourne COVID lockdowns and bought sight unseen with only 7 photos! Purchasing remotely of course is a big risk so they engaged a buyers advocate to decipher the legal documents and work through the finer details. The result has been a beautiful experience of restoring the 100ish year old house and 500 year old barn, establishing themselves in a little French community.There is so much to do and see in Burgundy. Kate told me about the picturesque villages to meander through, Burgundian food is known to be focused on fresh local produce and there is a wonderful Burgundy wine route. The area is also well known for excellent brocante!Whilst there are challenges along the way, Kate recommends to anyone dreaming of a similar life as hers, just do it! Be realistic with your skill set to achieve the dream, but once that's clear, get going and do it! It's been the best thing she has ever done!**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Victorians have been warned to brace for more Covid-19 infections after it was revealed the Melbourne hotel quarantine worker who has tested positive had a "high viral load" and is most likely carrying the mutant UK strain.Despite Premier Daniel Andrews' reassurance there was "no need to panic" at a late-night press conference, officials confirmed that early tests suggest the 26-year-old Noble Park man is likely to have been highly contagious for days.He is now under medical supervision at a medi hotel."Look, I think the testing of this individual indicates that he probably had a high viral load,'' Victorian CMO Professor Sutton said."That's what the test results show. For his very close contacts, I think there is a risk that they'll potentially become cases. That's why they're isolating from this moment forward and why their contacts will isolate as well so that, if a case occurs, there won't be further transmission to others."The man last worked at the hotel quarantine site on January 29, the same day he tested negative for the virus.It's a bitter blow for Victorians who endured months of lockdown last year after the second wave escaped from hotel quarantine.Genomic testing later linked 90 per cent of subsequent cases to a family of four who infected hotel quarantine workers who unwittingly spread it throughout Melbourne ultimately claiming more than 800 lives.The Premier said given that the UK strain of Covid had infected some of the guests at the hotel site it was reasonable to expect he had the highly contagious UK strain."We have to assume that this person has, in fact, infected others,'' Andrews said."I think we all have to assume that the international strain is, in effect, the UK strain. This thing is spreading so quickly – we've got the UK, Japan, South Africa – all of which have a higher infectivity level than what we were dealing with during 2020."I think the important thing to acknowledge is that people move around the state, and you can test negative, you can follow every protocol, you can be working in a system that has been copied by every other state, and still – this is such a wildly infectious virus that we could still finish up with a breach."But mystery surrounds how he became infected and how long he has been carrying Covid in the community."The exact details of that are not known to us. We've got to go through that CCTV footage and all of that work. The most important thing is that we are onto this quickly," Andrews said.The Victorian premier said there was no confirmation of a hotel quarantine breach."No, there has not been," he said."But I want to make it very clear, he has provided very detailed information and we're very grateful to him."Having said that, though, there'll be – and this does take some time – there's CCTV in all those hotels, opportunity, and we will work through and review all of that very carefully to make sure my answer remains accurate that there's no protocol problem."This is a wildly infectious virus. It is very, very challenging. We're not pursuing zero every day forever. We always knew there could be cases. We all worked together to deal with those outbreaks and I'm confident Victorians will rise to this challenge now."The man was working as a resident support officer as part of the Australian Open quarantine programme. He's now in a health hotel and his household contacts have been isolated."He had no symptoms at work, tested every day at work, as every worker goes through – which is also reassuring to us, no other worker has tested positive, including those who've gone on to different workplaces," Professor Sutton said.Premier Dan Andrews said the 26-year-old had provided detailed information about his movements."He works for us. So he's not a private contractor," Andrews said."He works for us. He works for CQV. He was a resident support officer, doing hallway duty and that sort of stuff. He's fully trained and he's been able to provide us with...

This podcast was the first one recorded with Zencastr, which makes for a slightly nervewracking beginning, but the duo quickly hit their stride. Jason is enduring the Melbourne Covid hard lock down while Inger feels vaguely guilty for being able to get away from the ACT and eat croissants in a country cottage. At work, Jason ponders the problem of the executive summary and Inger shares her stakeholder DANCE steps (and missteps), along the way convincing Jason to buy one of her favourite books 'Project management for the unofficial project manager'. On the bookshelf this week, Jason is still powering his way through 'About Face' by Colonel David Hackworth, the ultimate 'soldier's soldier', and reckons he's getting to the good bits about leadership. Inger has taken a lead from Jason and actually finished a book called 'Snobbery' by David Morgan and tells Jason about the idea of inhabiting a 'snobscape.Two minute tips this week is all about just getting it done. Jason has cleaned his desk (even the 2 year old bits of blue tack) and Inger is trying to avoid endless follow up emails from meetings and confessing to being a piler, not a filer.Leave us a message on www.speakpipe.com/thesiswhisperer. Email Inger, she's easy to find. You will not be able to find Jason's email (he likes it that way).Talk to us on BlueSky by following @thesiswhisperer and @drjd.
