Dear Euro-Millions...

Dear Euro-Millions,
Why oh why do you keep ignoring me? I am a loyal follower of yours and never fail to miss a Friday night and yet you overlook me every week. I wouldn't mind but I have my wish list sorted out. I'm not, actually, even greedy - no, I don't want the whole £122 million for myself just an etsy-bitsy little chunk so I can...

Finally buy that sad, lonely french maison near my parents that I have been wistfully looking at for over two years. My sister (an estate agent) is fed up with having to show me around every time I visit, knowing full well I can't buy it! But with a little love (and a little money) I know it would look like this:





It would need the perfect pantry of course...

And a gorgeous outdoor living space...

With beautiful decor in keeping with the setting...


And fun spaces for the children to enjoy.


Back home of course I could then snap up that house nearer to Joe's school, you know, the one just over £1,000,000...






Not as much of a bargain as the French house but what does that price tag include? Well only: Entrance hall | Drawing room | Dining room | Family room | Study | Kitchen | Orangery | Cloakroom | Master bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom | 5 Further bedrooms | Family bathroom | Shower room | Garaging | Outbuildings including utility room and gym | Swimming pool | Pool house with 2 changing rooms and WC | Tennis Court | Gardens | Paddock | About 4 acres

Oh that'll do for the time being! So please Euro-Millions, I would be eternally grateful if remember me next week....I'll invite you round for tea x

A French Nest!

Here are some photos of my parent's new home in the Vienne in France, they have lived out there for nearly six years now but this is their new project. As you can see from the interior picture there is a lot of work to do but once those stone walls are pointed they will look beautiful.
It's also got over an acre of land and a pool so my boys are going to love it.


I can't wait to get out there and help with the pretty things once all the hard work is done he he!
