19.11 Day 64 . . . Pisse Dru

So - first day back on our own after the departure of Mr & Mrs H.
Straight away we were off to see anther house and found ourselves up and on our way to Sauze Vassais, to meet Chloe the estate agent who works in the same office as Charlotta. Charlotta was away so Chloe was standing in.
We decided to take the back roads to Sauze as the morning was bright and beautifully crisp and clear. Some of the road side crops had dew like cobwebs on them as far as the eye could see and with the sun on them, they looked like necklaces of diamonds hanging between the plants. We also noted that the Chasse were out in numbers on this stunning day, what a day to spend walking around the countryside!
We met with Chloe in Sauze and then followed her to Le Breuil Coiffaud, a small hamlet and a longer type property. Im not convinced Teresa or I were immediately favourably struck by the property, but we always look inside now. The longer had a hanger type barn attached through which you could access the rear garden, some smaller outbuildings and a larger barn adjacent to where we had entered. We were immediately told there was an issue with this barn re joint ownership, which further added to our non favour. Inside was ok, nothing worse than we had seen before, stone floors, fireplaces, a small kitchen below the staircase and relatively small bedrooms upstairs. The outbuildings were all effectively small barns. The garden at the rear was overgrown but was quite large - and it spread along, behind and to the side of a neighbouring property. Quite a large size, however Chloe couldn’t confirm what bit were in the sale and which bits weren’t. Chloe also told us that the owner was a keen hunter, which actually probably didn’t need saying with a boar head hanging on the outside wall 😂
We left Chloe and the property and drove again through the stunning sunlit countryside, back to Chef Boutonne for chocolate. We then as normal hit SuperU for some food supplies at which point I convinced Teresa that she would like Sausage and Lentils in a tin . . . a bit like you’d get baked beans. I got away with it - however Tre did then hit back by grabbing a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau as it was the first day of its release. I was slightly concerned about the choice of name on the branding ‘Pisse Dru’ - but hey ho, let’s see what its like.
At home we broke open both the sausage in a tin and the ‘Pisse Dru’ and spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening in the warm, sorting some bits and pieces and also ensuring I had a full schedule of the World Cup games that start tomorrow.
During the evening I also noticed that a Music Festival Tre and I had visited earlier this year with Mr & Mrs Annals, had used a photograph of our Roxvanne in their next year’s advert . . . without even asking permission.
I feel an email to them is to be written tomorrow! Czytaj więcej
