Yeah I had a car accident and yeah I lost my job, but we have just found out that aside from paying for it, we now as good as own our French property.

I'm totally stoked and so is Pen.

It's scary shit, but so exciting I can't find the words - whaddya mean, that's a first?

So now I just need to get this insurance thing sorted to call this somewhat stressful part of our lives over.

We still don't know whether we'll move on a permanent basis, but there's no rush to make a decision like that. The house won't be going anywhere, so we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

Thanks everso for all your well wishes, I can't tell you what it means to me to know that you all care.

Lots of big happy hugs

Nick
