Day: 20 February 2025

Children number one and three came to stay- with an apparent trying journey via Edinburgh, Paris and to the pick up on Friday evening at Saint Brieuc.

It was good to see them. EQ’s second visit and IQ’s fifth I think. It was a planned repeat Christmas celebration as number 1 was working for the real event.

So we had lots for food, drink and a total of three films. We walked around the local area but squeezed in a walk along the Brest- Nantes canal. Hot choc, food and the company ‘Barry’ the begging bird.

I had to take some pictures for a nice piece of bureaucracy. We are planning to change the windows of the remaining originals. It has come to our notice that we need to do a ‘declaration’- not a ‘permis de contruire’ but it seems like permission to me. Somewhat ridiculous. I could not do the applicaton online as I could not see all that I needed to do. I sent to La Mairie’ and it seems photos are part of the requirements. Already the process is getting on my nerves.

Anyway she said the house looked ‘jolie’. Ans I suppose it does.
