Well it’s been a very long time since I posted on this blog, in the meantime we decided we liked Josselin so much, we bought a house there!. So we stopped off in Josselin on our way to a conference in Chester towards the end of 2011 and asked our friendly local real estate agent to show us some houses. We really liked one of them, which was in the main street about a block down from the house we had rented, and over the next several months we bought it, taking ownership early on in 2012. In May this year we travelled back there again, and spent a month painting one of the rooms, buying crockery, furniture, bicycles, setting the house up ready to live in basically. It is a three story stone house, a hundred and fifty years old, with three bedrooms and an attic which is what they call aménageable, which means it could be easily converted into another bedroom if necessary.

The house has quite a large garden with many apple and pear trees, which is all very nice and great to sit in but not very practical when you live on the other side of the world!

Some photos of the inside:
