Building a bistrot in France

Well here we are, it all kicks off in just over 12 hours. It kind of hit home today when the Young Ones put up a very nice sign on the door announcing a 'changement de proprietaire' (change of ownership). I have actually done my last hotel room, it's official!!!! Never again...

The kitchen has been cleared out and emptied, the inventory done, most stuff is packed, the cats are nervous. Freddy will have to go straight to the vet when we get there, on close examination his excema is much worse than I thought, poor little thing. People who see him will think we don't look after him. I hope there's a Yellow Pages in the new house. The owner of the New House has phoned to tell us where he has left the keys, so what could go wrong? I shall tell you in a few days! It really is a bit complicated selling a business. There's so much to do. For example, the new owners are obliged to buy what stock we have up to a value of €3000, but we hardly have anything left, but there are some wines. We have to produce the original facture to justify the price they are paying, some of which have gone to the accountant as it is the end of the financial year, some of which have been packed and are in a box somewhere. Aghhh. Still, what we can't find, I shall just have to drink. It's a tough call, but I guess I shall just have to grit my teeth.

So wish us luck and I shall be posting shortly from Vernet - forecast looks lovely! Ciaou!
