After previous visits to us we had a trip to the UK, staying with David, Lynne and Charlie and then up to Manchester for a few days. We'd have liked longer and to see more people but we crammed as much in as we could, and we're planning to go back again in a month or two. Then we went over to see Samantha, Mike and Elizabeth in Alsace, and had a nice few days with them, away from the stuff going on at the house. Then Peter, Lianne, Jack and Tommy came over to us for a week and we had the swimming pool filled just in time, but the water was too cold even for Jack.
Work has progressed well on the house, with the pool more-or-less completed and the apartment has been transformed. New walls and ceilings up, electrics mostly in, new windows. Nothing quite ready yet but getting close and we'll put some pictures up when its all presentable.
Another milestone today when we've got our cars re-registered here, so they'll have French number plates tomorrow. The procedures were a bit horrendous but we got there in the end.
