House en France

The Mrs and I own a house in the stunning foothills of the Pyrenees, problem is it costs us a smally fortune to maintain and even more when we visit, added to this' the realisation that it is too far from the sea (for us sea loving types) and a little two French (for us Anglo-Saxon English speaking types) and you have the large part of the reason why it is up for sale. Problem is of course that right now is not the brightest time ever to sell a property - even in France. House prices are deflating which is a bloody good thing imho as to say they were unaffordable would be an understatement. In fact the reason we bought 'out there' rather than 'over here' was the already startling price levels four years ago...

So if anybody fancies a four bed roomed private house with 7 hectares of land and a sparkly pool for just shy of 450,000 euros let me know....

O, and it has giant worms living there, not snakes, but big fat red worms which can best be described as 'Dune stylie'














The simple French peasants flee in terror.....
