La Porte Property Newsletter | March 2013

Dear Friends,

At last spring is with us, and after a longer than usual winter, the blossom is out. Having devoted the last couple of months to feeding hungry woodburners, the chainsaw, saw horse and axe can now be left to gather dust until November. Instead, the lawn mower needs to be brought out of hibernation, the grass cutting and the vegetable patch turned over.

All of which gives our buying clients an opportunity to see their chosen houses in the best possible light – and hopefully to find their new home from our extensive range of quality properties. And with the appointments diary rapidly filling up and Easter on the horizon, we look forward to meeting you all over the coming weeks.

As ever, we invite you to look at our new selection of our properties for sale - full details of which you can find on our website (www.laporteproperty.com). Please contact us if you’d like more information on any of them.

Best wishes,

Simon

Au Stade

Of a winter’s Sunday afternoon and weather regardless, the great and good of Monpazier de camp to the rugby ground. Given that kick off is at 3 o’clock (or thereabouts, depending on the punctuality of the ref), it’s a bit of a rush for most as lunchtime has to be trimmed to an unnaturally brisk couple of hours. Fortunately though, it’s only a short walk, and having had the chance to digest a four course lunch (and the accompanying bottle or two of red) the crowd arrive in good voice.

Woodman, spare that tree

Summer’s long gone, the swallows have fled south and it’s getting a wee bit chilly at night. Given that it was bloody hot for months and even the first half of Autumn was agreeably warm, the last thing on your mind was firing up the dusty wood burner lurking in the corner of the room – which actually needs a damn good clean. So, in blissful ignorance of the volume of soot and half finished bird’s nests that await, you assess the job as one of the 5 minute variety and gleefully ram your somewhat tired chimney brush up the tube.

Au revoir et Bienvenue ; part 3

Two days into your new life in France and the house is still a bombsite. Almost every room is crammed with as yet unopened boxes and the remains of hastily scoffed meals litter the kitchen - much to the delight of the resident mice, who are hugely grateful and well aware that you’ve yet to acquire a cat. And thanks to the constant stream of welcoming (and desperately nosey) neighbours turning up on your doorstep, you now know the entire history of the farm - though in truth are getting a little tired of the endless puffed out cheeks and low whistles which accompany each visit.
