April 29, 2016

In three weeks today, we will be heading down to Provence, ready to sign the final documents needed to complete our house purchase, which, as you can imagine, is something we’re really looking forward to (to say the least!)

Contributor blog post by Vaucluse Dreamer: We’ve now stopped ranting about what happened last week with the French house purchase and dusted ourselves down a bit.
