ericd Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Good luck Louise. Remember to bring the kettle and some tea bags with you !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolls Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi Louise,As ericd said...................lots and lots of your favourite teabags, so expensive over here for anything decent !!I don't miss anything food wise apart from Marmite, I always bring it over with me when am back in the UK and get friends and family to bring it too..............I'm a bit obsessed with it !!Be ready for the cost of living over here, prices have shot up since we bought in 2005. Apart from that just bring your excitement, happiness and enthusiasm !!!!Am very excited for you, the very best of luck and good wishes.Best wishes Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thank you everyone..... tea bags and coffee... a definite yes. I like Marmite too so will put that on the shopping list... :-)Think I will just try to fill up the van with as much as I can as I know food is dearer over there but then as we are planning a veggy patch then I think we should make some savings that way.Am really looking forward to it.... can't wait to get started on a whole new chapter of our lives... my mums already booked her flight to come over in a few weeks so am sure I might have a little list for her :-)[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 How about 'La Prochaine étape' ...means the next stage (of your lives) but is also a pun on 'Gîte d'étape '..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTrash Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Or even La Prochaine Etape if you happen to be feeling grammatical.But I still think Chez Louise has a nice welcoming ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I like 'La Maison Carrée'. Your house looks four-square and very attractive - why not make the most of it?French people will know it means 'The Square House', and alongside an elegant little drawing/photo on all your publicity, it should be fairly clear to others (although I guess most people don't know the meaning of the names of hotels/B&Bs they stay in).But some will know the original Maison Carrée in Nimes, and others the Madeleine church in Paris or the Virginia state Capitol in USA which it inspired.Best wishes for your move.

Louise Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Just got internet so thought I would catch up with everyone.... we have been here 5 weeks now (time flies !!!) and just about got most things sorted. Time now to get on and sort a name - yep still not decided !!! and then get a website up and running. A couple of the names I liked are already in use round this area as I have found when doing a bit of research.Anyway hope you are all well Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
