The last few weeks in Josselin, just enjoying the village and getting the house ready, lots of things to do!

Sold my Citroën Traction Avant parts manual on leboncoin

We visited Madame’s grave and left a longlife plant there.

Our friends Jean-Pierre and Françoise picked us up last Saturday after the market and took us to their house in the country near Saint-Servant for lunch, we had a very nice time with them. Françoise taught us some french when we first came to the village and we became good friends with them both so it was great to catch up, thanks Jean-Pierre et Françoise! A bientôt.

Dinner chez Martine and Lewis, and Otis the dog of course!

I applied some undercoat to the plasterboard in the attic as we thought it was better for it to have a protective coating.

Same in the aménageable part of the attic.

Today we went back to the Table d’O with Martine and Lewis for a farewell lunch.

Lewis, Pauline, Martine and myself, Table d’O for lunch.

We’ve enjoyed being back in the village for the last time although I can’t say that we will never return. The market has been a joy and we’ve enjoyed taking the RIV bus to Ploermel, we went to Rennes for a bit of shopping, but mostly we’ve been in the house getting it ready to leave. We inherited all sorts of things from M. Joulain some of which has ended up at the local Croix Rouge, and of course we have added to the stuff over the last twelve years. On Monday we are off to Charles de Gaulle airport on the train, Tuesday we leave for Singapore. It’s going to be a wrench leaving but it will also be rather nice to see the cats again. We have a picture of them sent to me by Emma the other day, made me feel a lot better about going home. Elsa had hurt her tail, it’s good to see she’s healing well.

I’m looking forward to the market tomorrow, not that we need anything but just so we can say goodbye to everyone. Then it’ll just be trying our best to get everything into our suitcases for Monday.
