Our property on the market for sale
Yesterday morning at 7 am our telephone rang and woke us up, it was a pleasant English gentleman, who apologised for the early call but his brother and his wife were on the road travelling down from Calais from England and wanted to view the property. They were touring around looking throughout the region. We of course, had no objection to this and rang the gentleman directly on his mobile to give him directions. He mentioned on the phone he was struggling to find a campsite, which was open, and would be with us when he could. We checked out some in the area, but they were not open for the season yet, so we obviously rang them and said that we had plenty of land; electrics could be connected to the van, and if they couldn’t find anywhere near, they were welcome to stay on our land with no obligation. Later in the day he took us up on the offer and arrived to view late afternoon.
The one thing we should mention here, is that the last few days we have had glorious sunshine, and it has been quite warm. However, looked out of the window after the phone call to see a thick layer of snow, and to make matters worse, it was still snowing very heavy. Just our luck!By the time they arrived, snow had turned to rain, and the sun was trying to shine but it was still quite wet.
It’s strange how things like this, tends to throw one out, and just shows how we are in certain routines and habits in our life, for we felt quite restless. Anyhow, we showed the couple around and spent a couple of hours covering all the property details with them and left them to settle in for their overnight stay. Not sure if they slept ok, but we certainly didn’t, we seemed to be disturbed all night.
Set the alarm this morning to rise early, and not long after they came and thanked us for our hospitality and left for Brittany where his brother lives.
So our day started early and we are both very tired. We are not sure we like this idea of selling ones home very much if this is how we feel when anyone views, its so unsettling.
