Our first house near Najac

Site updated on 16 Jan 2012


On January 4th Paulie and Stephen arrived from Paris at the house, La Serenite, near Najac. It was a swap with the owners, Glenn and Sue, who will borrow our car in March in Australia when they visit- they have created a lovely Virtual Reality (VR) of the property. Olivia headed down from England on the 7th and then James took a break from work on the 14th. Local visits, a trip to visit friends Nick and Sonia in Bordeaux, and days at the property made for a great break. On January 16th the whole team headed off to the next house in Provence via Carcassone.
