Feel for you Aleman:confused:
We now need to speak to travel insurance and see if we can change our policy from multitrip to backpackers so we don’t have to come back as we will cut out our Ireland and Scotland trip.
Hoping Denmark and Sweden open borders July so we can explore there ?

Well, we're still in our house. Damn those incompetent solicitors, they couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery. Many dates given and passed us by because of them not doing their job properly. The last date we were given was a few days after lockdown. You just couldn't make it up. We had the offer on our house last September. The whole thing was and still is an absolute shambles and still on hold. ????
I feel your frustration, we were lucky and actually moved into our van on the site where it’s stored, but only because the buyers removal company daisy chained, put their stuff on the drive and then filled the van with our stuff, which went to storage.
Our frustration comes with the land with a commercial garage on we are buying should have gone through in December and we’re still waiting for his solicitor to sort the deeds out, so we’re actually paying bloody rent for something we should own☹️

Me too - moved out into motorhome where we still are awaiting on issues with the house we hope to buy. Not the solicitors fault tho due down to lockdown/sellers issue.

Least the weathers nice

After 64 days locked down at camingcar4night St.Marie we left for pastures new yay.
Only just up the road at Le Barcarès hoped to spend a while fishing here but the mosquitos are huge and we have been eaten alive Swmbo has over 50 bites and we only went out for an hours walk at 7pm.
Following day after talking over a move with the long haired grumpy general and a trip to the pharmacy vending machine:rolleyes: we moved to Tautavel what a beautiful place and free ? bit of fishing and a swim in the crystal clear waters.
Today we followed the route de vin and after some roadside veg shopping ended up at Quintillan parked up for the evening and watched the vultures circling over us :oops: amazing views on the way here.

as long as masks are worn in shops and the guidelines are followed everyone is just getting along with life?

Quarantined and a fresh MOT on the van, bought our own storage container so no more fees for that now.
Put on the next Eurotunnel train ready to explore some more 🚐💨

We’re due to move out 27th of March and will be in the van until we can get plans submitted for our next project and then put a static on site, wish we were proper FT but we still have work unfortunately, this project was to good an opportunity to miss.
Why oh why though do purchasers try and turn the thumbscrews right near completion, our buyers decided to try and knock £1000 off our price after we said we may take the bedroom curtains worth £150? told them that if he wants to argue the toss over a set of curtains on a house sale in excess of £500,000 then he obviously doesn’t really want the house and I have another couple in the wings waiting for it to fall through, we’re in no hurry so what’s it to be? Just because he owns property’s he thinks he’s billy big balls, now bearing in mind we’re a small village he isn’t making a great start and has turned a perfectly healthy sale and tarnished it.
Nowt queer as folk when money’s involved
It does begger the question why remove the curtains lol
