Impressive! WOW! What a lot of work you guys have done - it is amazing! Well done - and well done Ben too; for sticking with the rugby - sounds like you might have taught them a thing or two?
Rugger Allez Sauveterre !!! Fantastic news! I really enjoyed watching the double header (and double-victory) when I was over.
RIP, Mr Miagi :o-(
Good to see there's still some wood on the pile.
Rugby French Good to hear that there's life at your end!
Are there specific french rugby terms or is it like le golf, where it's just English/American word imports? Are you going to have special coaching to keep up with the sledging?
love

CONGRATULATION How interesting to read your journal. I bought a lake with cabin near Mourenx exactly one year ago and from next year on, when I retire, I will live there for the whole summer. I hope your paperwork will finish soon and you will also live near Navarrenx and Mourenx, it is just so beautiful there. In Mourenx on the market is a man who sells home made wine.......you MUST try it !!! Also the chocolate factory LINDT is in OLERONE, a very beautiful drive there and lovely town.
Good luck with everything, I am off to my lake on 30.May for 2 months. Lucky me Christel
Wonderful to hear from you..and hear from you....and hear from you.......and hear from you..........and hear from you........... Go back to the bar guys; you obviously need a drink.

Town and Country Both your town and the surrounding countryside look gorgeous. I am so jealous sitting in the dark driech December rain over here.
Love, Steve.
Still in touch Isnt it funney that you can go anywhere in the world and still find familiar faces. That happened to Andy and I on our honeymoon - bumped into an ex boyfiriend; that was 21 years ago now. We wish you all the luck in the world on your venture, it looks like it is all coming along nicely. Lots of hard work but loads of fun on the way. Sounds like you picked the perfect location with a wonderful community to share it with too.
until next time Love Hx

Just checked my yahoo and here is your errant blog reminder!
Noice work loike, loike it. Loike the blog, car and house - proper tidy loike.
Joyeux Noelle n' all!

BON VOYAGE ETC You're probably there by now,so hope it was a grand trip with no unplanned detours. If you're not there yet,well, I guess there were some detours. Think Cadbury is excellent,looks like you're off across the Sahara.
Loads of luck and love. Looking forward to seeing you.
Shivering of Tibberton. Bloody freezing here.
Bonjour64 Love the web site name, good job you are not in the Rhone Department! All looks so exciting - feel like booking already! Take care and don't work too hard.
The Colour of Chocolate!!! Cadbury purple..... how could I not love the new landy!!! fabulous, fabulous. Thinking of you at this exciting time and with every dairy milk!!! Good luck and best wishes, lots of love Tats and Robert xxxxxxxxxxxx
Need a hand? Looks better than the last pictures! Let me know when you need a hand decorating - something light as I'm getting on a bit now as you keep telling me.
Congrats Well done !
The Landy is already better looking than most of the cars I've bought in the past 5 years.
If you need a decent sized estate for hauling stuff around, my Citroen will be free from this weekend, as I pick up my latest shed on Friday.
Love,
Veysey.
Bugger .....I'm so envious, I could take to drink.
You've both done incredibly well.
As ever, any and all support - except cash, obviously - is there if you need it.
Much love to you both.

green with envy superb, everything is moving along tickety-boo, I wish you both well. it all sounds so fantastic - i'd say we (family) would most definately like to look you up and book one of your gites when up and running.
If you are passing The Litten, when back here pop in and say Hi.

Admiration mixed with envy!!! Glad to know you are enjoying the experience and great to read all about it even if it is all a bit upsetting - envy is a terrible thing. Don't know why you were sorry to leave us Ben - it all sounds a glorious adventure. But then I don't have to cope with the frustrations of French bureaucracy and their taste in interior design. Although I suppose lunchtime "vin compris" eases even those pains!
Keep the blogs coming - they are being read and enjoyed. Good luck in the Bar des Sports during the World Cup...
Ben and I are heading of to the South West of France to start a new life and find a new home - follow our progress here and view the houses we see and the regions we discover.... full info
