Well life is certainly busy at the moment!! Despite our original completion date for our house sale being the 1st week of September, we have recently been told that it's been moved forward to the 2nd August. Things never normally move quickly in France but it's typical that when we need time to organise things, all the paperwork has gone through really fast.
So we now need to get our bums into action and start packing up. With 2 two bedroom houses to pack, there is a lot to sort through. Plus we have 2 of everything, including fridge/freezers, washing machines etc. so it should be interesting to fit all of that into 1 kitchen at the new house. I do like a challenge though! :)
We are heading up to the Charente on Friday for another visit to our new house. We are meeting with a few builders to get quotes. We need to get things done to make the property habitable such as new flooring, having the beams sprayed, connecting the hot water boiler, making sure the electricity is on. Lots to do as it needs some further renovation work to get it up to a reasonable standard but it's such a lovely house that I'm happy to do whatever work is necessary
Compared to my house here in the Languedoc,when we first bought our 2 properties, this renovation project is simple!!! Mine was actually used for keeping animals, so as you can see from the picture of my Lounge and Kitchen,before and after, there was a lot to do and it was a similar story throughout the whole house.

Despite all the work to do, we are really excited about starting up our new lives in the Charente region. If you have any reccomendations for great restaurants or some upcoming Vide Greniers in the area, then let me know. We can't wait to get out and start exploring xxx
