Renovation Project - B&B for sale in France - We're selling up!

I am sorry but I have to interrupt the normal blog for our big announcement, normal delivery will continue tomorrow.

Are you sitting comfortably?

You may remember some time ago I said that we had made a big decision, I had hoped to get the blog completely up to date before I told everybody what that decision was, but alas it is not to be, time has gotten away from me and we now need to let the cat out of the bag (mainly because so many people know already!)

But

Here it is, big drum roll please........

We are selling up!

Yes that is right, we are selling up

Nothing to do with the monster owls, or any of our worst parents/grandparents awards but simply because we have done everything we had set out to do.

In 2012 we moved to Brittany, we bought the derelict house, we renovated it, we opened our B&B, we made a success.

We have now got to that stage of having achieved all of our goals, so as I sit here and type I think of what I have already done this morning.

I have just had a meeting with a diagnostic company for a house sale (95% spoken in French) this is something I thought I would never be able to do, I have just called into the little shop and bought something and the owner then asked in English if I understood and we both laughed as I handed him the exact amount of money, I strolled back past the patisserie and looked at my favourite croissants (didn't buy one as I a still on this stupid diet) and suddenly the pangs of what are we doing hit me, we love it here!

But age is creeping up on us (that is the royal us, I’m as young as a spring chicken, it's John that is getting older)

I laugh when we tell friends that we only have another 9 good building years left in John, but it's true, I don't want him working hard after a certain age, and we still have so much to do.

As much as we love our life we need to move on to our next project, we need to get John building again, and we have already seen a house that we would like, it is a little one in the same village, so we are not moving far, for the time being any way, at some point we still want to try Spain and Portugal, but that is in the future, for now we need to concentrate on selling and getting our next one here.

It has been such an amazing experience, we love running the B&B and meeting fantastic people from all around the world. But nothing lasts for ever and our feet have gotten itchy, its time to move on and try something new. I need to know that we can do it again, I miss the excitement of watching something grow (though I don't miss the cold or scrubbing old wooden floors).

I sometimes wonder if I will ever settle down in just one place or with just one career, but that is not really me, there are so many exciting things to do and places to visit in the world, I am just so thankful that I get the opportunity to try them.

After all a few years ago I worked for a national charity, then became free lance, then a builders labourer, then a B&B owner and now an estate agent, as I said there are so many things to try in your life

So you have all followed the blog, you have seen the house grow and blossom, now is your opportunity to be a part of that story.
