Bonjour la Catalogne!

30.5.97
Our first visitors to OUR little corner. Papi for an apéro and Philippe on his return from Paris for a night cap.
After so long talking about it, ça y est, on est chez nous! (Christian)

27.5.97
Furniture arrived without any problem and the windy road to José's garage (a short term storage solution) was negotiated with held breath as our's was very large lorry taking up most of the available space. Fortunately, we only met one car which stopped while we squeezed by.
Celebrated settling in to our "petit coin" as "The Nest" is not yet finished..

25.5.97
After a tearful "goodbye" at the airport, Christian who had come back a week early and I arrived "chez nous" having had dinner with Frank in St Germain. Was really nice to have some new home cards waiting for us .
To clarify, our friends (a family of 4) from whom we have bought the house are still ensconced. Their solution for our absorbtion into the living space was to give us their bedroom. We soon found our own solution and took over a small "suite" consisting of a bedroom, shower room and  Philippe's study to convert into a sitting room. Best of all, there was a door to make it self contained! Meals, however were taken "en famille"
