Renovations!
What can I say renovations in France 🇫🇷….
Online purchasing isn’t easily done! Long waits for items which sometimes never even arrive!!
But we are in the sunshine ☀️ and loving the people and place…

À few huge 📏 things accomplished in the last week!!! First paper tax return completed ✔️ and officially stamped… bit of an anticlimactic réponse 👍Okay pour moi👍wasn’t what we were expecting!!! I mean at least a sticker or something… half a tree was sacrificed in paper 📝
And drum 🥁 roll please…..Neals motorbike re-registration is done ✔️ only taken 7 months and 2 trips with it on a trailer….
Note to self sell and buy new next time….

⏩ Fast forward ⏩
House 🏠 buy is nearly done ( no tick yet not jinx required) Banking here is a little behind the uk. Transfers take days and checks are strict but non of it’s a problem!!
House insurance well any is more expensive in France 🇫🇷 but defiantly more cover. I mean you can go cheap with 3rd party but I like the full comprehensive and breakdown..(it’s me age)
Neals motorbike re-registration fiasco continues! Him the bike and Jeff our fantastic moto haulage/classi importer and generally great guy and friend from Brit Classic Moto are ticking the boxes today the re-reg company (not so great) have requested a vehicle check so it’s on a trailer as we can’t get it insured till it’s done and the uk insurer said they will no longer cover it as Neals residency came in…
🐔 and the 🥚 as always!!
So fingers crossed 🤞
Other than that we are ticking along… French lessons are coming on for me! And we are settling into our new life here!!
Calm before the new renovation 🏠 begins… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
