I finished, almost, working on the Chambre d’hôtes and rental apartments in our house during September, this was four months later than planned after a years hard work and all our savings.

I had hoped to start marketing our home in Villa Roquette last March, but only really started last month – so we are just beginning to get bookings and iti going to be a very quiet Christmas.

It does mean I can make sure all the details are finished and make the home a really good quality, charming and comfortable place for you next year.

Bread and dripping for Christmas though
