First Post of 2011 - Some good News :-)

The SIVOM have written to say that they have installed the 'branchement' and so now.......We have drinking water onto our property now! Yeay......No More hassling the neighbours for water to drink.  Not that they have been anything other than gracious toward us.  When we were there in September, Camille told us to help ourselves to water from his cellar any time, the door was always open.......  It was lovely going in first thing in the morning - the sun would be streaming in the door and it was lovely and warm, with a smell of domesticity - Mrs Camille (I call her that as I havent learned her name yet) would have the washing on already and have left for Bellenaves for her shopping.

Looking forward to our next visit - once the floors are in and the fosse in, then I think that will be three big steps forward.  2011 will not (famous last words) be as fraute as 2010 - I hope.

About us

My photo
Simon works for Sainsbury's as a Department Manager has a multi-million pound turn over annually on his department and works all hours God sends. I am Events Monkey. I call myself that, as my actual title is unknown!! Just responsible for any event, function, conference, meeting etc.,etc., that happens on the campus where I work. I'd be better being called an Events Elephant, as I'm paid peanuts and expected to work all hours known to man. This is the tale of how we decided to take the massive step to living a totally different life. Selling our home in England and moving to a fantastic little village in the Auvergne, including some of our adventures along the way.
