After a long (nearly 9 weeks) break our project in France is about to recommence. We are heading back to Villefagnan tomorrow (9th May) to continue renovations (and soak up some sun, food and wine).
The opening of the two B&B rooms, which we hoped would be by mid June has obviously been delayed but we are going to take it a little easier and not set any deadlines.
You can follow our progress here (albeit a little slower than initially).
The van is loaded (nearly - a few more things to squeeze on) and then we are off to Portsmouth in the morning to catch the ferry to Caen.
A wonderful friend is coming with us. I am nervous about driving the large van as Phil can't drive for a few months and knowing this Kim offered to help out. For some reason he is keen to come over and dig a trench for us. Heavy work is out of the question and this offer of help is so much appreciated. And knowing how apprehensive I am Kim has offered to drive the van down. I am going to give it a go some of the way as I know I need to be able to do this and I just need to overcome this ridiculous fear. She is a big girl though and after driving Corsas and small Peugeots this is way out of my comfort zone.
So hopefully with trench dug we can start plumbing in the guest shower rooms. It may take a while but with the big pipe in place we can take our time over the internal stuff.
I shall be updating regularly so watch this space.
Thanks to everyone for your help and support over the last 8 weeks.
We hope to see you again very soon.
