Thank you greedy kite,--- we have had our place for ten years now and go over as much is possible. We have done the place up over this time -- i love it to pieces --- i get so shocked at coming back to blighty with the price of everything. Pro for moving. France telecom !!!!!! ---- (i know you' re laughing) we have be driven to drink and tears by the red tape and abject inefficiency of that particular institution -- it honestly took us the best part of two years to get a land line and internet connection . Moving for good near Sancerre and other Cru Boujolais houses does have it,s advantages. Speak soon and thanks for replying
