The lot is now cleared and Jeff is well into his bonfire phase. We still dont have a land licence but have found out that the person who signs such things hasnt been appointed yet, so we , along with many others, just have to wait. Our lawyer is drawing up a contract to finalise the sale of the land this Friday , without the licence but with a caution..whatever that means!

My Mum arrived here on Tuesday so it has been fun showing her around and introducing her to our friends. She seems delighted with it all. Lawrence Dallaglio has also pitched up in the hotel with his wife for a child free break. He seems a friendly and relaxed guy and is off out sailing on our friends boat tomorrow. we intend to go off sailing in a few days time with Mum to some of the Islands down south so there will be a lull in blogg writing as WIFI connections are rare the further south you go.
