Things are moving quickly

Our new roof, almost finished

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that the renovations have picked up speed. The new roof is almost on and the windows (though not the glass) are in place. Lots of walls have been broken down and the wooden frame of the house has been much reinforced. Upstairs, preparations are being made to lay the floor and the electrician and the plumber of lining up to get started. Ben's also getting ready to 'get back to work' as he'll be installing a lot of the insulation so on and so forth (in short... all I know is he's got loads to do).

Meanwhile, life outside of the 'big house' is going well ... Jack's only got a month left at his école maternelle and Emma at her trusty nourrice/nanny. In real terms, that means we've only got a month left until the summer holidays start... and that means 8 weeks of fresh air and freedom. I can't wait!

love n hugs,
Robynx
