We start 2013 with a new future project and one we had dreamt of, but never thought would become a reality.
We share our driveway with No 8 and the family moved out in 2009, returning only occasionally. By chance we discovered they might be considering selling and with the invaluable help of a local we put in a 'cheeky' offer at the end of October and they accepted!
The Notaire managed to prepare all the paperwork and just before the New Year we completed the purchase. We start 2013 planning for the renovation on the house and will be able to use the barn for storage.
In reality, the house will be secured and moth balled until we can afford to start the renovations, but we can start planning and dreaming again, as it might come true.
