I must say that my absolute favorite photos are the two of you and J-Y--you, from the back, in front of the window working (the personification of a "dynamo") and the one of J-Y up in the scaffolding smiling down like a man happy with his mission!!!
Congrats! I know the amount of work it takes to get a business up and running, and doing it in a foreign country is triple the work and time. You are amazing in what you've accomplished this year. You should reward yourself. Good luck with the sales. Cynthia in the French Alps
I just cannot believe that this is the same place I saw last fall that looked like a wonderful home for all kids of nasty spiders, bats, mice, etc.. Simply amazing transformation! Congratulations to both of you.. wish we were there with champagne to celebrate.. xo
I'm a somewhat contrary woman who, in March of 2008, decided to leave corporate life behind and pursue a dream. The resulting misadventures are documented here, as I reinvent my life in France. On a side note, I write as I speak ... lots of run-on sentences, misapplied ellipses and unexpectedly plentiful parenthetical pauses. This is unlikely to change.
Is on a bridge above the clouds, is air born Is Marie Marvingt in a biplane, humming Gnome spitting oil Shuddering wires, the church spires Bleriot looking up, his felt hat black An ant, a speck of coal They take your bags and scan them You hire a car, this was the dream and now You've simply gone too far to be lost in self doubt There is only the impending, compelling, spinning propelling how The distance leaves a wispy trail, the turning of the wheel the Fata Morgana highway, cloudward on the Millau And therefore you must go on, therefore you must Embrace every moment, not like hired help checking coats Not like the mud-locked fisherman staring though unknowing, Envy-filled at a parade of powered boats, But eyes full of sky.

Wow! I remember how scary it looked last Fall. It is stunning. Congrats to you and JY on the work.
Pas mal pour un Français:)
