The story so far:

20 February 2003 Asked Longeaux Immobilier to make an offer inclusive of all fees to the owners, M & Mme Michel, for Le Moulin de Chaquel
12 March 2003 Keith signed Compromis de Vente and paid deposit to the agent's holding account.
31 May 2003 Signed Acte de Vente at notaire's in Pluvigner and camped out in the Maison for the weekend without even a kettle!
We also discovered that we were the proud owners of a vast amount of rubbish, plus 17 feral goats, 2 Vietnamese potbellied pigs, 3 cockerels, 3 doves, 1 duck and - we thought - 2 stray cats.  As he was grey, he was christened ChatGris, this inevitably being shortened to "Shaggers"! The female was white so was christened Blanche. 
3 June 2003 Our belongings arrived - it took 2 days to unload them - there are boxes everywhere and we do not have room to move!   
13 June 2003 Met Ron, Malou & Herve Banks   
3 August 2003 Christine & Fred, our tenants, moved into the Pavillon.  Our French lessons started!
2 / 3 June Furniture due to arrive at Le Moulin

What's next:

Move to France

Rent out the Alresford house
