27.03 Day 192 . . . Spring Has Sprung

So we both woke about 5am for what reason we know not. Tre said she hadn’t slept all night. After a chat I. The dark we both finally dozed back off until about 9am.
Whilst in bed and as mentioned previously there had been two days of huge demos in Sainte Soline we protestors and police injured. All to do with a planned and commenced huge water basin. Tre and I looked at some of the coverage on social media - truly brutal for such a sleepy tiny village. The police were well prepared but well outnumbered by protestors.

We both got up as we were expecting a call from our English Notaire - which Tre thought was at 10am and I thought was 1030am. Guess who was right - we hadn’t needed to dive out of bed so quite quickly.
At 1030am the call failed to happen. At 1115am I sent a polite email to the notaire kindly offering the option that one of us had got the date wrong or perhaps he had been delayed with other work.
At 1130am he called and explained that he was as we knew in England and England was an hour behind here, therefore he was spot on time 😂. Laughed off due to our stupidity the call then went ahead to discuss inheritance. French law provides for a property in joint names to be passed to the children in the event of one parent passing - a fairly new law which isn’t going down to well in France. The call was to navigate our way around this.
At just gone 2pm we left on route to Gilly and Paul’s for a catch up. We took a road we’ve never taken before and loved the fact that after all the on off rain over the past days, a burst of sunshine had made it feel like Spring had arrived and everything had screamed into life.
We spent the best of the afternoon with Gilly and Paul before departing and popping to Sauze SuperU for a couple of bits.
From there we drove home and hurriedly got dinner on the go as it was just before 7pm.
We’d had a follow up email from our English Notaire which we need to read a couple more times before making any decisions.
Post dinner a little TV before bed as we were both knackered.
Tomorrow we go on holiday!!Leia mais
