Goodbye France!

During the last month we've
-sent on sea freight 2 couches, a table, 8 chairs, 1 sideboard and 8 chairs
-sold the car, beds, cupboards, kitchen, gas oven, toys
-taken clothes to the clothing bin
-given away a mirror, lamps, ski gear, a bike, a mattress, water filter, kettle, a bottle of Australian red sand soil, more clothes, bike locks
-binned the rest and emptied the whole appartment
-repainted some walls, cleaned others, patched walls, added mastic to the window frames,
It's been a nightmare as per normal, finishing with one car load of stuff being packed as the lady did the final inspection.
And we went to the mountains for two days, had 5 to 10 dinners, and went ice skating. Me, Ollie and Sylvie from next door went for a plane ride over Greoliere and the Esterel near Cannes with Pierre Bibal the pilot from work.
We've still got to redirect our mail, and get on the plane, but at this time, it looks like we're on target and the panic is coming down a bit.
We've been staying at Jess and Lee's for a week. Marie is going through the boys pencil cases as we speak. Later on we'll visit the post office, buy Lee some thank you alcohol and go over to Gabriella's for our final evening. She asked us what we wanted for our last dinner. Normally people go for hotdogs and apple pie for their last meal. We've asked for a vegetable soup as I've had too many hard core heavy dinners.
Ahh the cheap beer, cheese, the sea and the mountains, We finally got comfortable with the place. France we will miss you.

A dinner with Eulalie and Bryan

Louis, Ollie, Rubina, Leonie and co
