Yeah it's big and square and solid. It was built in the 60s but all the woodwork in the roof is wooden pegged and it's got a cellar - it seems much older than it is. I went for it because of the high ceilings and big square rooms - a lot of French houses have small windows and low ceilings! They're all little short arses! LOL

can I say 'arses'?! Oh well - just did - twice! LOL

Here's a couple of our bach... it's on the other side of the island to where we live, on a very rugged coast, about 2.5 hours drive.

You have a cellar?!? DUDE! lol

Yeah, but it's dark and poky and full of mice, so we don't keep the wine down there - anyway, never lasts long enough to KEEP! :lol:

I LOVE your beach - I really miss the beach - I was born in view of the sea (Blackpool) and brought up on the south coast of England - New Forest. This is the furthest inland I've lived - about 2 hrs drive from the coast and then it's all touristy and busy and horrible! When DH retires we're going to buy a boat and go and live ON a beach somewhere - maybe NZ if they'd let us in - you guys are STRICT about who you let in! Maybe you could smuggle us through a back door! LOL

I think it helps if you know someone here. Probably best you don't mention you know me, it won't help! ;-) ;-)

I'm off to bed now... cheers for the chat! :-)

Blue who? LOL

Nitey nite!

Well done for adding photos of your places. I love the house in France, (though I have to admit to being lousy at languages, so I couldn't live there) and the beach only two mins. away? Brilliant, just my kind of place. What about more photos everyone?

Here are some of the immediate area of where we live:
