Having managed to confuse a few about where I’m actually living en France, I though best to explain. Currently I’m at the family home, L’Horte, which my parents owned for well over 20 years. Sadly due to repeated flooding in the River Aude area (yes that gorgeous bit of water my dogs love), the government decided to buy up all the homes at risk, including ours. So despite it being a several hundred year old mill plus another non-flooded house, we are moving out in a couple of weeks to a new abode 5 minutes away in Rouffiac. However….we will still own a large portion of the land at L’Horte including the gorgeous swimming pool aka the river bit. It will be heartbreaking to leave the home where our family has seen children grow up and dogs live their whole lives but Rouffiac will be a new start for both my Mum and I. We will still have two homes but my bit is much smaller and the massive garden is well-fenced for the dogs. There is a lot of work to be done on both properties at Rouffiac but for me at least, I get to create MY home and hopefully become part of the community. Anyway, I’ve popped a few photos of the river at L’Horte below so you can see how lucky we are to keep it. I shall post pics of Rouffiac through it’s progress but I hope I’ve clarified my sitch as they say.
