Monday 30th November 2009

With the Freelander piled high with 'essentials' - paint, decorating equipment, tools, bikes and even a large mirror, we arrived in the Ariege on Monday 30th Nov. We met David and Cecile Prax ( in torrential rain!) at ‘La Maire’ to have a final look around before signing the legal documents to become its new owners the following day. They helpfully explained how the wood-chip boiler works, (we think we understood!!) and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the house was beautifully warm and cosy. We then spent a very pleasant evening with Sue and Steve at their cosy chambres d'hotes http://www.laroseraiebeauregard.com/ and looked forward excitedly to the following day.
