An Introduction...

This is the start of a blog that I hope will follow me over the next few years as I explore both a new industry and a new country. And what better way to start than with a picture of a goat!

In August 2011, I left my job as a government accountant to undertake a two year career break with the hope of breaking into the french artisinal cheese scene. Now that I've managed to gain employment with a serious player in the industry, I feel that it's time I started to write down a bit about my experiences.
I'm doing this to try and de-mystify and translate the french attitudes and understanding of cheese and to give my thoughts on how better to buy serve and enjoy cheese.

I hope that I manage to tell my story in a way that interests you and that you choose to follow my progress.
