Where did August Go

It is hard to believe that today is September 5 and it is over two weeks since I posted on this blog - I was hoping to write at least five times a week - but along came the summer, hot sunny days, people calling and lazy days by the pool (I wish !).

We are full into the grape harvest and the days are getting shorter and cooler - the kids are now all back at school, Jack is in 4eme, Clio is in Lyon on an intensive study course for two years at the University faculty there and Miranda in Montpellier doing a two year prepa hoping to get into a Grand Ecole in France.

My mum has had a second successful hip operation and is now totally bionic and I am getting even fatter in front of this computer.

My work is moving much more towards video and mashups of information about property and travel - real estate in france is in an “interesting” phase and I find the challenges much more exciting now that property prices are levelling and the zillions of estate agents are beginning to eat each other in a survival feeding frenzy - interesting times.

I have been answering a lot of interesting mails and will put some of these on my blogs - do write to me or comment if there is anytjhing you would like to hear about life in France or French property.

a bientot
