    New Potager

    How about Runner Beans.If you sow in pots now you could bring them with you.Leeks would be good.Sow them now as well.Same goes for Broad beans.You cannot buy either bean here,certainly not runners.I bought mine in UK on my last visit.Hope this helps.
  2. If I have not posted for a while.I have to enter my password again if I can find it.
  3. Congratulations Pauline.We moved out last July.We had to ask a few questions before and after we arrived,still are.Our only problem at the moment is the language.We take lessons,but at my age it is a struggle.So far no regrets.

    Holiday in Crete

    Thanks for the replies.I will have a look.Cannot believe the price from Paris.
  10. I live in area 56 and would like to go to Crete in June fron Nantes.The brochure prices state a supplement which would make it expensive.I have heard it is cheaper to fly back to Stansted and go from there.Any thoughts or suggestions!

    roller blinds

    Hi, we have just bought a roller blind for the bathroom from Bricolarge if that is of any help.They had a good selection too.
  12. I have loads of Blue Tits in the garden feeding on the fat balls.I have just put out 2 large seed feeders,they will be empty by midday tomorrow.I also think I am feeding every Finch in the area.There are loads about.
  13. Hope it works out ok.As I said I did not have any problems.They were very good indeed.
  14. We used Move It near Ashford.No problem at all.Cheaper than Brittania.The owner has a property in France so he knows the score. Web page= www.move-it.co.uk Hope I am allowed to give out this info. Just to add some more info,I had a flat pack kitchen and greenhouse delivered to Move It, shipped over with household chatels no problem.
  15. I have 2 bird feeders and 6 "lard" balls.The feeders are filled every day.I think I am feeding all the tits in Brittany.
