DAVINA IN FRANCE UPDATE

First of all apologies for not updating my picture, the one seen with Scottie is about 8 years old Totally due to vanity, I'm waiting until I have lost the weight I put on from comfort eating due to the stress of selling Lagoona Davina.
Scottie of course looks exactly the same Not a wrinkle Not a pound or kilo more, really not fair but inspiring me to look as good as I can at my ripe old age, not long now kilos coming off.
I didn't go to the area talked about on the last blog ages ago, too far away from what I wanted to have. I'm in Pouzolles, Herault, south of France, near Beziers, Pezenas and Montpellier, wonderful countryside and micro climate, I have almost finished my lovely house, it was once the cinema for the village, so as you can imagine there was quite a lot to do. I hope to restore what little bits are left of the original, especially the screen, which in those days they painted onto the wall It has taken time not helped by my having heart failure only ten days after moving in (again due to selling Lagoona Davina stress) However, pacemaker fitted by a brilliant French surgeon, a few months of treatment to get it stabilized, I'm back in perfect health. Now I'm just waiting to sell my flat in York to have the final injection of cash needed to finish.
In the meantime, not quite camping, but not completely finished, 'paying guests' are welcome to stay in my guest room for a small token price
Please contact me on:- maildavina@gmail.com
Once finished I will have a completely self contained 1 bedroom / bathroom, with open plan drawing room / kitchen, TV Wi-Fi apartment (gite) to rent by the week or month.
In any event I'm back nearer to family and friends and blogging again And about to create a new blog linked to a new website, which I hope will be rather interesting, perhaps occasionally even controversial! I will let you know more soon
Davina and Scottie of course
