Restless at the start

April 30th 2010

 

Once the four brothers and I had signed our names on every page of the Acte de Vente my anxieties were replaced by others but a supportive little bird, held my hand and said "Bravo".  I was so happy,  realizing the importance of this momentous occasion of buying a house in France!  I was not to be restless!  There was to be no more house searching, no more worries about whether a choice or decision is correct, no more money sitting in the bank,  here I was with responsibility creating a whole new stress curve,  just so I could have the security of owning "bricks and mortar" to make a home of my very own. 

My purchase included: 

1. one house with a courtyard and a garden on one plot of land 

2. one garage / stable building with planning permission to convert and extend into a dwelling. 

September 2011
During the last 15 months I've been through a gamut of emotions which are far too difficult to express or even explain.  Colourful it has been!  I'm not sure that I want to delve deeply when it has all been set down and the past is now the past!  
But set down I have been, set down to be in my very own "home" in the present!
 Perhaps it's just not worth the time and energy to try and answer why things are as they are!

This is this and I am lucky to have this as it is.
I am fortunate.
