Pads Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 When I was in the British shop in Carcassonne the other week I noticed on her notice board a few houses flats for rent. Why dont you contact her shes very nice , heres a link with her address tel no on http://www.bestofbritish.fr/locations.htmGood luck in finding some where its a great place to be [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for that - we'll be popping in there for sure. We're really looking forward to finding somewhere, then the search for a place to buy will begin! We're in Milan at the moment (where i work) but have been across to that area a few times now and we really like it. It was a toss up between Beaune and Carcassonne, but the weather and Pyrenees swung it for Carc. I'll let you know how we got on in a couple of weeks. Ric.

Jonzjob Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Ric, yer couple of weeks are up!How did you get on? Any luck??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well now........Sorry I didn't reply to this before there was too much stuff going on and I didn't want to jinx it. After looking at several places, some ok, some bad and some you wouldn't put your dog in we found a lovely village 20 minutes E NE of Carcassonne and whilst looking at a rental place there the agent also had one for sale which she showed us and we fell in love with it. Needs some work but not a huge amount.So we bought it [B]. Been a bit fraught lately with surveys, compromis, mortgage applications and paperwork etc but now we are waiting for a date to go and sign the Acte. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well done you [:D] How exciting ................ Good luck with it allIts very scary but fun isnt it ? Holiday home or Home ?You can join us for a coffee at cafe felix on the square in Carcassonne in May when I meet up with other forum members Johnzob, Chateu miaow, and Twinkle. Plus Bones if he gets over his friends are for softies moment ...........[;-)] if you want to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks Pads, it will be home, not holiday home. I'll still be working in Italy until something closer comes up but there's a good link (3 a day) between Milan and Girona with Ryanair. I do 4 days on and 4 off but that looks to be changing to 5/5 or maybe even 6/6, so I'll get plenty of time at home. My wife will be there full time. Most exciting prospect I think will be getting our cat out of storage. Poor sods been there since August. Of course I mean cattery....! Coffee I can do - better be up to Milanese standards though.......LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded scary from here!Cous cous has got to have meat in it to taste right, but I must admit that I am getting part way to being a vegetarian. I eat them [6]. I got canine teeth and I need meat to keep me going. Choklat I can do without, but I love it sometimes and your chokgooyum sounds a goody!!!We had a short walk by the canal by Trebes on the way home, but Cele was not going to be late for her dins and she insisted we went home. I am glad that she can't talk or I wouldn't get a word in!!!For those that don't know, Cele is our chocolate labrador, a total pig, forever a pup, coming up 10 years old and gourgeous with it!
