the only problem with the translation sites is thy translate word for word and sometimes the meaning gets lost...thy are good if no other resource is available....
[quote=joellesews]there is a site called Translate.. I think on Google and you just tell it what you want liek from french to english and then type in what you want translated.. not sure if you could copy and paste and the print it out or not,[/quot

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that you live where I wish I did. I have wanted to move to the English countryside since I was 15 years old. I just feel this very strong pull to the place. Must have lived there in a previous life!

The only problem is,it is a french publication and therefore all the instructions are in french.
I know a very small amount from being taught many years ago in school and I have tried with dictionaries etc but cannot translate it.
Would anyone be kind enough to translate the instructions for me, the instructions are very short, just a couple of paragraphs really.......I would be more than happy to pay or send fabric if preferred as I know this is a big favour to ask...thank you
