Seeking a second home, Bob & Abi found a dilapidated old
country house with 6 acres in a tiny hamlet surrounded by mountains
deep in the Hautes Corbieres; a region where ruined Cathar
fortresses rise starkly against the skyline and place names are in
both French & Occitan. Set in magnificent scenery within a
protected forestry area that is a haven for wildlife and with a
climate varying from snowy winters to summer Canicules, the
location has a timeless atmosphere. A selection from several years
of humorous & informative e-mails accompanied by over 60 B/W
photos chronicles their purchase & renovation and how they
became part of a close knit community whilst overcoming numerous
logistical & technical problems to realize their ideal.
