House 3 and dinner with Kerry

House 3 was a turn up for the books. Not only did it benefit from 70+ acres of land, it also had a new roof. No floors, windows, doors etc. though. Kirsty told the estate agent it merely needed a good hoovering.

With so much property to look at, we opted for spending the night in the front garden. Nothing like cheap accommodation.

After much contemplation, discussion, and sleeping on it, we decided to put it on hold and carry on with the holiday.

We'd had a text from uncle Kerry saying he was in Normandy so we headed off in that general direction. Strange but we seem to be seeing more of our aunts and uncles here than we did in the UK. We had a lovely meal with Kerry and Sylvie in Bagnoles De L'orne. I rustled up some French Cuisine supported by the local chip shop.

Today we have moved north to Bayeaux, home of the infamous Bayeaux tapestry. Hopefully when we go to look at it tomorrow, the kids will find it more interesting than a 1000 year old toilet roll.

Nice to here that the Swedish Fraternity is now also following our adventures, you never know we could be heading that way late September time and may be after a free meal.

We took this picture of the estate agent, would you trust him?

If the plants grow as well as the weeds in the front garden you'll be OK. Is the 70 acres being farmed or is the whole lot lying fallow.

Did you check for power points for the hoover.

Is that estate agent wearing dark glasses to cover up his shifty eyes!

70 acres? That's big enough to house a couple of softball diamonds and a dorm to house all the softball players.

Nice glasses on my godson but I would have put him in some oakleys.

Hope the search is going well.

Take Care and Miss You!

you will certainly need a good lawn mower for that!!!!

Sounds like a big back garden. Lots of home grown veggies!!!

Continue to enjoy your travels and hopefully soak up some sun aswell as the rain.

Tons of love, missing you lots, take care

Hi Andy,
Looks and sounds like you're having a great time. Some of the gaffs you've looked at would make excellent projects.
Will write again when I get more time, continue to enjoy.
