After two and half years of posting about anything from old French adverts to naked pictures of Carla Bruni and tons of stuff in between, Dutchman Romke Soldaat of English-language blog Frogsmoke has decided to call it a day. Having lived abroad for “a quarter of his existence”, Romke blogged about some of the best, funny, sad and scandalous things going on in France, with his laidback sense of humour.

According to his last post, Romke plans to retire in the middle of a French forest with the nearest neighbour at a kilometre down the road. He says he could come back, but he’s not making any promises.

24oranges wishes him and his entourage good luck in the future!
