It It has been a long time since I wrote the last blog entry - before I went back to London for a month, to let the flat in Cambridge Road and get on with selling the garage at the back of the house.
Not that long after I came back to Roujan, in March, wonderful builder John Platings from Tourbes and his team - Joel the ex antique dealer, Ahmed and Muktar - came on site to start work on building the extension at the back of the house and create two rooms within the existing "cave". Work has gone on apace from the start. The photo above right shows the legal notice of works starting - not a thrilling pic, but for the record!
Below: inside the former wine-storage "cave" on the ground floor. On the left is a whole new storage/emergency bed room - where the wine storage "cuves" were that were torn down (see earlier blog). To the right of the back door is the new shower-room/loo.
[Apologies to all readers: I'm finding it impossible to impose the lay-out I wish on this blog - it just puts the pix wherever the prog wants, not where I've indicated or, indeed, as I see it while typing the text. Bloody infuriating! Will try to put this right as soon as poss...]
Now I've just discovered that all the pix I thought I'd taken of work in progress don't appear on the camera diskette or whatever it's called. So, I'd better buzz off and take some more....
