Floor and roof(-ish)

Another month - where did that go? The weekend of 16/17 September was a regional walk organised by the Condom group with much wining and dining and some dancing. 200 on a guided walk on Saturday and over 500 for a marked route on Sunday. We did our bit to help, especially the wining and dining!

Then we took the caravan for its third inspection and it passed, but still waiting for the paperwork to come through so we can get French plates.

Have laid the floor insulation - 100 square metres and 2 layers, so no mean feat. A serious glitch when we opened the last pack of slabs to find them all stuck together! The screed was due in 2 days, but we got it replaced and all set just in time. Now waiting for the screed to dry completely so we can start laying flooring, maybe December (Judy has just said "no chance").

We nearly have the roof tiled - long tales of woe from the roofer to explain why it's a month late. We're working on our bathroom which had every fiddly bit we're ever likely to have to do, so a steep learning curve. Waiting to have the water and electricity connected properly, then we can camp in the house at last.

Spent a few days back in Plymouth as Chris was working. Picked up our meagre furniture and a load of bamboo flooring which is much cheaper in UK. Had hired a huge French van which hardly fitted down the Devon lanes. Easy driving in France, though.

One disaster - Chris dropped the netbook and wrecked the screen, so now computer-less.

Summer fete-ing has finished, quilles has been replaced by cards (belote), tried archery and nearly killed a hare and a deer - but that was in the car on the way home!

Have found a wonderful lady who does French lessons, so that's Wednesday evenings and Friday afternoons booked. Badminton on Tuesday evenings, so still keeping busy.
