Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Roofers Return




I was incorrect to think that work on the house was stopping until the plumber arrived. The roofers returned yesterday afternoon to insulate the roof and install the wood slat ceiling (lambris) in the loft. Three workers showed up just after lunch and stayed until well after 6 PM. They have returned this morning and I suspect by lunch we will have a new ceiling in the loft. With all of the insulation we have put in the house, I think we will stay very warm this winter and have lower fuel bills.
