Le Grand Depart / Arrive...

STILL jo posting on behalf of the parentals... but hey, they may get their act together sooner or later!

If anyone IS reading this and keen to hear the latest from the Braithwaites Abroad I'm delighted to announce that they are safely and happily settled at La Charriere. The departure went smoothly (except for a minor hitch at the ferry port... PLEASE ask them about this as it's most amusing but I'll be cut off from my inheritance if I spread the story online...)

Both Braithwaites and furniture all made their way to the lovely house and there are now rooms full of boxes and beds and sofas and stuff - a home from home really!

I stayed with them for a week and was honoured to be their first 'sort of' guest at the new residence permanent. In case you're wondering, they're loving it and seem utterly at home (not really a surprise). They are enjoying digging the vegetable garden, planting fruit bushes, planning the next lot of work that needs to be done on the gites to get them ready for the summmer, and basking in that glorious view across the back fields every evening.

They promise to be online very soon - so expect more communication in the coming months.
