Above: Nr Mortain, Lower Normandy, 4 Bedroomed Farmhouse and outbuildings
with about 2.5 acres no neighbours. 106,000€ + Notaire's Fees.

I have been told by the Ads team at Facebook that sponsored/boosted posts, where the photographs carry text on them, are less successful than no text at all. That's just blown a 35 year career in advertising out of the water... but then 'hey', this is 'new media' where video's of kittens are viewed by millions so, what do I know? Actually I can't even link my iphone, ipad and laptop together successfully, so obviously... not much.

 But, the way things are shaping up, even though these Brexit jitters have upset the Foreign Currency Exchange rate market the reduction in property prices has created a buyer's market which balances out the cost of buying Brittany and Normandy and moving to or buying a holiday investment France. The reverse effect of the exchange rate ie: people selling in France to move back to UK means that they are getting a very much more beneficial rates of exchange and therefore may be prepared to accept a lower offer than they might in calmer financial times... It's something that someone like me (2% in my maths mock 'O' level) took a long time to grasp... but it's right isn't it?

 I am astounded at the great value and seemingly low prices of houses in Brittany and Normandy. As properties come in from our agents on the ground I'm thinking... Hang on prices in the UK are still on the up whilst properties coming in to us just keep starting at lower and lower figures... I've also heard that those people in the UK who always harboured long term plans of buying abroad but who initially, stalled by Brexit and all its uncertainties, are cutting their losses and saying "Sod it... we'll go now!" It's a swings and roundabouts thing - dodgy exchange rate - yes... But much lower prices on the other side - definitely!" So, here are a few ridiculously priced properties (by comparison to UK) for you to coo over... Click the link under each photo to check our site(s)

I know it takes a while for it to sink in that in spite of this Brexit lark giving everyone the ab-dabs and making them put on hold any thoughts of buying in France it is the early bird that gets the worm... and you know what they say... Who Dares... Wins!

Watch out... There's a Banker About!!

Buy a House in Brittany or Normandy - Definitely! But... Don’t do a Dave! Buying Abroad?  Got a minute? Read this... It could save you thousands ! A woeful tale about a client who thought he had it all sewn up because he was sticking with his bank when he exchanged funds for the purchase of his house in Brittany. As we have so often said…  Watch out, there’s a banker about! Dave Simmonds and his wife, Megan (It's a true story, but the names have been changed to cover any possible embarrassment -  alright ‘Dave’? ) were both very, very excited after finding their ideal home in the heart of the Cotes d’Armor. It was everything they could ever wish for…    Early retirement with a very reasonably priced 5 Bedroomed Farmhouse on five acres plus three gites. Enough space for the horse that Megan could never have dreamt of owning back in Guildford.   A good potential income from holiday lettings...And a ll for just 360,000€ plus Notaire’s ...

Tintagell, Snowdonia, Cadbury Camp, Broceliande - So who really 'owns' Arthur & Merlin?

For a bloke who was restricted to travel on horseback or, at best, but probably a whole lot slower, by Palanquin (look it up... I had to) King Arthur and his retinue (Lancelot, Guinevere, The Lady Vivien, Sir Girwain, Merlin - et al)... well, they sure did get around. Although, if you believe the other places that legend would have us believe he made an appearance - as I mention in the title... Tintagel, Snowdonia, and Cadbury Camp, then he was probably good at levitation and teleportation too... He probably landed just up the road from here having been guided in by the standing stones at Carnac. And don't get me going on "was God an astronaut!?" We're getting on with our exploration of Brittany (picking up again nicely thanks) in between renovating our modest money pit in the Cotes d'Armor... Well, we recently had a look at the forest of Broceliande... and the Brittany end of the Arthurian legend.  I have to say that, with regard to this part of ancient his...

At Last!... A Picking and a A Pickling We Will Go!

  I have wanted to do this for years! Picking Walnuts and then pickling them! Unless you have access to a Walnut tree in July you're a bit stuffed. I haven't ever seen unripe walnuts for sale in any shop. We haven't had any Walnut trees to call our own, although we have been given a very small sapling. It's planted in the garden now and, if I'm still alive when it bears fruit I shall regard myself as extremely lucky.  On walks along the dried up canal just a couple of hundred metres up the hill from the house (the Rigole d'Hilvern)... turn to the left at the top of the lane where it crosses the canal and it's the first tree on the right. I don't know how we've managed to miss it... but, in our defence, it is well tucked into a beech tree and sits under its branches - quite well hidden. As soon as I realised we had one almost on our doorstep... I looked up a recipe and, having found it, went out and picked what I hoped would be 2kilos to match...
