There's a great song by John Fogerty called "Déja Vu All Over Again" - I think the title's irony is unconcious.
So no surprise that, lumbering back with the trailer and car fully laden I was again pulled into customs at Portsmouth last week ....
"Any guns, explosives, knives or other sharp objects sir?"
No, just a washing machine, a dryer, 300kg of imported Japanese sculptured granite, a twenty year old lawnmower recently fully renovated, a fifty year old oak desk, a ladder, four boxes of Christmas decorations, a huge four lane Scalextric layout and boxes and boxes of stuff we hadn't seen for three years.
All things from the house in Fleet - funny the things you leave behind when you move and then decide you still want!
This blog is about our experience living in France as we complete the renovation of our property, battle with French bureaucracy and enjoy living in this stunning environment. La Basse Cour is in southern Morbihan in the Brittany area of the west of France and we have a 1960 house, a 1798 stone barn and 6000 m2 of land.
