The last few weeks have seen a significant change to the house, with floors and carpets being laid. Our experience with ASHLEY FLOORING who laid the bamboo was very poor and not to be recommended. Actually down right amateurish.
The Elmbridge Building Inspector came to check up on developments and requested some changes which we hope will be finalised by Tuesday 10th June which could allow him to return the next day and perhaps sign off on the development. Time will tell.
Generally the house is now in good order and we had a BBQ for family and friends last Saturday but I forgot to take photographs of the event.
We are hoping to head off with the caravan on Saturday 14th and head towards Vichy, all being well on the Building Inspector side.
The plan is to spend around 7 weeks in France, although we will be back for the Elton John Concert in early July at Brooklands and then we return to France until we have had enough but most likely we will be back early August when it can get very hot and quite crowded.
It looks like we may to return to New Zealand at the end of October and stay in our friends house until early March and miss the good old British winter. We are hoping that Joanne and Michael will be able to join us for a couple of weeks but this depends on their holiday arrangements .
I am planning to take some photos of the completed house later this week after the inspector has been and will post them here.
Over and out for the moment
