Bonjour tout le monde (changed from 'Au Revoir')

[DelBoy]

I'll be logging off on Monday (18th) for a couple of months as me and Mrs Delboy II are going househunting in sunny France, starting off in the Limousin. 

Got the caravan rigged up for satellite TV, so hopefully won't miss any LMES or ALMS action.

Best of luck to all who are attending any of these events and hope the weather holds out - for your sake as well as mine.

I hope to have a quick lurk here occasionally if I can find an internet cafe (or similar.

All the best to everyone.

Del

Bon voyage, old chap.

good luck with the house hunting and remember, get yourself a good notaire.

[Robbo SPS]

Good luck Del, i am sure we shall find you in france next year if not .

[Andy Zarse]

I'm tempted to say jammy git, but I know you've been looking forward to this for years! How nice it would be to get away from the horrors of Blair's New Model Britain.

Best of luck in finding a house in sunny France. Let us know how it ends...

[Matt Harper]

Good Luck Del. My parents did the same and found the most beautiful place at Jumelles in Maine et Loire - close enough to Le Mans (70km south east) to make it very convenient. There are some very attractive villages in the area and the convenience of Saumur and Angers - and a smattering of expats (though maybe you are trying to escape that aspect!). Well worth checking out.
Happy Trails!!

Del - you know I'm envious.

Look forward to hearing all about the new place next year, if not before!

[Black Granny]

Damm! Another one escapes our clutches!!

All the best with the house hunting

[Steve Pyro]

Best of luck Del.  We hope to be following in 10 years or so.

[DelBoy]

Good luck Del, i am sure we shall find you in france next year if not .

I shall be at La Sarthe next year come what may.  Can't let you youngsters overtake me in total number of visits.

.... and a smattering of expats (though maybe you are trying to escape that aspect!). Well worth checking out.
Happy Trails!!

Correct Matt - I want to live like the French do, like it used to be here 50 years ago.

I like the Loire valley, I know Saumur quite well.  However, one of my mates at LM this year said I should be looking around Le Mans area - told him that I wanted to go further south where it was a bit warmer! (where's the 'tongue-in-cheek' smiley?).

Thanks to all for the good wishes.

Del

Good Luck Del.

Just remember to look for saomewhere with a very large garden, big enough for say.................80 tents, 20 gazebos, 10 swimming pools and a Black Transit and a Commer!!!

....and plenty of storage space

Hey DelBoy... you won't get lost, will you ?

[Perdu]

Hope you find your bit of heaven down there. It isn't impossible that I may be following you too, now I am a retired old gennleman.... (Where IS that tongue in cheek icon for the smirkeys?)

:)

good look on your quest. It is easy as long as you get with the laid back way of life.

I am near to St Malo if you get fed up with the caravan and need a bit of advice re technical stuff.
