Not much to report!!!!

We know that many of you eagerly await an update on the new house. Sorry for the delay!!!

Here it is:

We had our first delivery of our furniture & many boxes from storage on Thursday 18th Jan & then more on the Friday. Our new dining table & 10 chairs were also delivered that day, after being stored by the shop for nearly 2 years. Glad that we still love it.
We slept in the spare bedroom whilst we sorted out our waterbed. The following Monday we emptied the gîte with the removal company & by then the new house was getting pretty full & disorganised.
We set about getting ourselves installed but decided that after about 30 years of waterbeds (not helped by a leak!) we’d return to a more conventional bed, which has now been ordered.

We’ve tried to have our part of the house pretty well organised & the dressing room has been great. But everyday we’re finding more stuff & it gets cluttered again.

Whilst all of that was going on, the outside has progressed & we hope to have the garden fully enclosed by the w/e. We’ve found a paysagiste (gardener) who’s helping with the garden & she seems pretty clued up.

And whilst all of that has been going on, Louise has been getting ready to go into hospital next week for a new knee. Then after the op she’ll be in rehabilitation for 3 weeks!

At the same time, the snag list ( quite a big one ) is slowly, very slowly, being worked through. Hopefully tomorrow will see it shorten considerably!

The photos are just a few in reverse order. “From chaos will be ….?”
