ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book would not have been possible without the willingness of the British in the Ariège to welcome me into their lives and talk about their experiences over endless cups of tea. I give heartfelt thanks to all of the participants of this study. Thanks are also due to members of the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University, especially Dr Karin Tusting. I would also like to acknowledge members of the Lifestyle Migration Hub for welcoming me into the group, encouraging me in my research, and giving helpful comments and advice. Finally, thanks must go to my family for accepting that carrying out this kind of study requires frequent travel away from home, as well as being left in peace to write it up. This book is dedicated to Terry and Azora with thanks for their support and encouragement over the years.
