On 27th December 2007, after travelling round France, we finally moved in to our own French dream. As well as having the memoirs of our travels on the blog, it is also an ongoing account of our new life in France.

The start of the Pizza oven
As mentioned previously, one of my objectives for this year is to build a pizza oven in the garden. Well I've kicked the project off now, even though I haven't yet got a final design or all the materials to complete the job. I do however have a vision in my head which seems to be the basis for most things that I do. Yesterday I moved the barrell that was on the spot where the oven is going and today I have dug and concreted the foundations. I hope to get the walls built up to waist height and the insulated slab cast for the base, prior to the arrival of Steve and Laura on 21st February. All my research has shown that the majority of structures are built from concrete blocks but I feel these will not be in keeping with the house. I have opted for using local stone slavaged from Chateau Antoine and will top the oven off with a slate roof similar in style to the roof on a fairy tale tower.
