Well it’s all go with the house hunting currently, if we’re not viewing with agents we’re driving around “researching “ areas!
There are some lovely properties around where we are currently based in both the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, but after 10 visits 2 had offers accepted the same afternoon we were there and unfortunately the others didn’t give us that “warm, fuzzy feeling “ you get when you just know it’s the right place.
Still we’ve been seeing a lot of the countryside and already beginning to feel that we know our way around certain areas. Taking notes and making comparisons certainly helps to sort out those places that appeal or not!
It was good to have my big bro’ join us for a couple of days of “research”.
On the hunting theme it was fascinating the other morning to hear Les Chasseurs in action. Weekend hunts are very much a part of French culture like it or not and to hear the hounds and French horn echoing through the valley definitely had the blood running! Unlike English fox hunting, these guys are on foot with a variety of hounds all on the trail of wild boar.
Think I could cope with that view too Sue. The countryside looks lovely. Look forward to a day when we can be shown around. Take care xx
I hope that day isn’t too far away Robby xx
Great to hear you are house hunting. We are in lockdown…again. No visitors allowed. We have sold our house (which was found to have white ant active but no damage as yet.

We have purchased a house.in Geelong near our daughter . All happens in October so packing up now. Good luck with your house hunt
Good to hear from you and delighted you’ve made the move you planned for! Tuesday afternoons will be different without you pair – hope they are all well and Rob has recovered from his op? Enjoy the packing up, how many garage sales planned??
