Hello Everyone and a Happy New Year to you!
January is often a month of good intentions – New Year’s Resolutions and all that
This is the second instalment of the history of our farmhouse home in the hills above Ceret.
I was very lucky to meet Jaume Bertran. My french teacher also works as a carer. When she arrived to give me my french lesson recently she remarked that she had a new client and that he had told her that he knew Mas Pallagourdi very well. When she pressed him for more details he told her that he had lived at our house as a child. It was this, in fact, that spurred me on to discover more about the history of our house, and I asked her to set up a meeting.
