Can you tell me how to get....


I'm a fan of this cement truck, it looks like it's just come from Sesame Street or been on a peace march or something. You see, we spare no expense to get all the best things for our chalet...

And we're up! Finally it's there. It is also an ongoing work, reckon it should bulk up a lot by the time we get to December, but it is there. And very pretty...

There are load of pictures up there in the gallery, so I might post the progress reports here a bit less frequently. But then again, for me this is basically the most exciting thing that ever happened, so I might just post everything here too. We'll see how it works out.

Right now, I've only sent the link to people for proofreading. Already a couple of ugly punctuation and grammatical errors have come to light, so I might leave it a day or two before sending it out to everyone I ever met....

The Next Level


Just another quick pic of the progress... seem to have a lot of the ground floor there now...

Admin Update

So I just got back to London. I've been over in France for the last few days, mainly to see our accountants. We just signed all the papers etc to incorporate the operating company (SARL), there's a lot of paperwork in France.... so in a few days we're all set up! Then the bank just needs to open the company account, and we can start taking money - happy days. So get booking soon, chaps. I've got to head back over sometime in the next few weeks for a "training session" on bookkeeping and other associated technicalities. I'm going to be doing French and UK tax returns every year for the rest of my life. Urgh.

We also had Lindsay's leaving do, she's heading up to Morzine this week to oversee the building work. It was a black tie do with Pimm's in the garden followed by a massive (5 course? I lost count...) meal. Really nice. And loads of presents. She now has the full chef outfit, including hat. Just gotta work on that Swedish accent now...

They seem pretty quick at this...


So here's the latest photo, the building work seems to be going pretty quick, in fact I think they're slightly ahead of schedule, which is pretty cool. They must have done this before. Lindsay will be in Morzine as of Tuesday next week (probably), so everything looks like it's going pretty swimmingly so far as far as construction is concerned. Wicked.
