Provence Tayl's

The last week has been occupied visiting houses for prospective clients and reporting back our findings. We currently have a few irons in the fire from a client seeking a Ski Chalet in the Alps where we think we might have unearthed a little gem that is not on the market to another client seeking a house with 25 Hectare of Hunting land where we might have peiced together enough land with a stunning house which we are seeing Friday - at 2.6 Million its worth getting excited for!
Last Friday and Saturday we experienced the strongest Mistral wind so far, it really would have blown the tails of donkeys! and it was very cold but has thank fully blewn away as fast as it arrived.


On Sunday we joined two French, two Americans and 7 Brits for a superb Sunday lunch in a Wine Domain afterwhich we watched England beat France in the Rugby - needless to say one or two drinks were consumed.
We have now completed the internal refurbishment of this villa, re have rewired, fitted a new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, installed heating, re plastered the lounge and redecorated.And finally we re tiled all the floors. The outside is next with the garden to sort, and the re rendering due to be started in April plus a new terrace around the pool ( picture shows the wood arriving)


We are experiencing one or two final teething problems on the land with access and drainage but hopefully will sort soon. The Electric bill is still under dispute!
This week has started busy with french lessons, a meeting with the Marie about the planning, more builders merchants and I am out with a client Thursday visiting 9 houses. I am also in the process of taking the roof apart to clean and replace tiles etc whilst Karen is hard at work in the garden.
