Property sales rebounded in the first quarter of 2016 with an increase of sales on the coast and in the mountains of between 5 and 10% according to the president of the FNAIM of the P-O which represents 2 out of 5 estate agencies. Sales in Perpignan were a little less buoyant and prices were stable across the territory.

I thought it was getting warmer but the March wind has piped up and brought with it cold air! A delicate sprinkling of snow has appeared on low-lying hills making a fine backdrop for the cherry and almond blossom trees and the glorious yellow Mimosa. A few crocuses and daffodils have appeared in my garden. I’m hoping for more and have put my trust in Google which tells me that moles do not eat flowering bulbs!

Bill was anxious to fence the land so that we could have animals. After all, this was one of the main reasons for us moving to France and buying a place with six acres. The vague wave of the arm and words of the previous owner, “it’s over there somewhere” had not really helped to clarify where the boundary actually was. And we were far too scared to ask the neighbours who had been watching our every move through binoculars.
