Hats off

It’s been a bit of a busy week, we have had friends come to visit and guests stay in the chambre d’hôte. We also went to Troyes for the day to check up on our Carte vitale’s. The good news is Brian now has his permanent social security number, so he will get his Carte very soon. Mine apparently, is still not processed. Unfortunately, we couldn’t quite understand why, but I did understand that I just need to wait. But we are 50% of the way there now.

I love Troyes, just wandering around the old streets with their wonky houses and interesting boutiques. stopping at a little street café for a coffee, or finding a restaurant tucked away in the beams of a very old building which once upon a time was a wooden house.

This is a little shop selling handmade hats, I will definitely be back at some point to buy one.

Brian has also started lining out my laundry room for me. He is fitting cladding on a wall and putting up some insulation, just to help it stay a bit warmer through winter, and it will look tidier for me. He has various old bits of wood he is using, and some tongue and groove which we were able to buy in the Brico depot in Chatillon. I’m looking forward to seeing how this is going to look. I will keep you up to date on the progress
