Another weekend jolly - thats what its like when you live in the centre of Europe, you are served by some of the best autoroutes in the world and you aren't restricted by living on an island!
I popped down to my favourite beach area of the south of france... some seven kilometre beach, just south of Montpellier, that is so wide it never feels crouded. I have been searching for the perfect property to use during the summer months, rent out, and basically to become a better growth investment than the small interest that money gains in the french banks.
Driving down Friday, and staying in a Hotel Etap - always handy, and in fact perfect accommodation for three people, as they always have a double bed with a single bunk above.
Up early and looking at a few properties - none of which were perfect for the purpose required but nonetheless the information gained from the estate agent was worthwhile.
After that, picking up a friend in a small village between Narbonne and Carcassonne, we toiled our way up the mountain hairpins to look at a car that i saw on Ebay - but alas it wasnt to be.
Had a good gossip and catchup with my friend, and a Mairie of a mountain village whom we know very well, god thats like therapy in itself. Returned to Marseille Sunday, in fact the drive back from her place took only 2.5hrs, so am making a mental note to see more of eachother in future months.
More property searching this week and hubby looking at cars.
Summary - Positive Week
I realise that flowers need watering and maybe thats just how it is for us women sometimes.
I also remembered that its good to clear out your basement - all those old bills and paperwork - rubbish really - reduced to a handy little lever arch file - phew what a clean up! After that things are easy - life seems simplified - see it big keep it simple
Spent a mad weekend on a mission searching for a beach investment property and a car. Neither is in the bag but im so much further forward having fully utilised the weekend viewing properties and going for one car (that didnt work out).
