A lorry has just reversed into our driveway to take away the skip that has
been parked outside for the last two weeks.
Will, the electrician, is fitting the lights and electrical sockets in
the kitchen.
“Do you want cool white,
daylight or a warm white setting for your downlighters?”
Hmm, so many decisions to make.
I opt
for the warm white as it’s probably more flattering to my skin tone when I’m
standing beneath them.
It’s hard to believe that a year ago the estate agent rang to arrange a
viewing of our house in France.
An offer
made and accepted and within four weeks we were driving back to the UK with a
trailer load of boxes containing our most prized possessions, ready to explore a completely new destination.

We have been living in this quiet Lincolnshire village for almost a year now and we enjoy living here.
We
have missed the French sunshine and our beautiful old home; this summer’s weather has been disappointing
but it is England after all.
The
greenhouse is full of ripe tomatoes and Paul’s vegetable patch has produced
really well.
My new kitchen is almost complete and has transformed this tired bungalow into
a modern, contemporary home.
A lot has
happened in a year. No regrets.
