A few weeks ago some friends asked us to stand in as ' buyers' for building materials and antiques so we could be photographed for their website- here are a few of the results!


This is us studying the plans of a mansion to be built in the USA using Provencal building materials which Mike & Rosi buy and ship.


Here we are in a bespoke door and furniture makers in Apt, employing 60 craftsmen they create beautiful doors,windows & furniture, all hand made and very expensive!


We watch the craftsman carve this Oak door destined for the USA

These chandaliers are rather sparkly!

And some lovely dishes - worth a thousand pounds each - from Sweden I believe!

This cow gave us a good laugh

That old cliche 'its cooler in the shade!'


Lovely dish! Just like being on the Antiques road show

Not quite sure what I said but seemed to be pretty serious!


Some fairly hideous ornaments!


I am going to read you a story......



This is a cobblers table and tool set which I found rather fascinating


And finally a well desreved lunch!

This is beams r us! any size, all very old and expensive too


If its a fountain you are looking for look no further!

And to create a good impression a nice set of entrance gates!
