Our new 'maison francaise'

...and electric!

EDF have connected us! So we now have both water and electricity. We also have the first devis for the building work. Our initial reaction was 'ouch!' - particularly when we added in the TVA on the pool (at 19.6%!). I think we need to get another couple of quotes - and I'm certain we can get the pool done more cheaply.

We have another builder visiting to quote while we are in France and a list of local artisans (courtesy of www.pagesjaunes.fr) to take with us - so this should give us a better idea.

Little bro and sister-in-law (belle-soeur) are not visiting after all. Apparently it was too short notice to get any time off - which is a shame.

It was my last day in work today so I'm now winding down and getting into the holiday mood - but that won't last long as I have a lot of packing to do tomorrow!

The kids are getting so excited now - they are desperate to see the new house - and we can't wait to get back over there.

So...à bientôt!

  • It ѕeemѕ she rеаlly doesn't need help in that department, though. "Black Swan" molds an emotional mash-up of two highly influential films: The Archers's "The red shoes" and Roman Polаnski's "Repulsion". On top, there is a red satin, ruffled shrug, where the fabric has been folded and manipulated to achieve its shape.
