End of an era for Leila / this family will be missed

Hello Val and Malcolm,
The time has almost come for us to leave this beautiful part of France for greener fields and certainly some rain!  We will be moving back to the UK in just a few weeks. We hope to return at some point, so are renting out our house here which leaves us with a few items for sale. (Please add the list to your ‘For sale’ section Val).
After living here for 11 years we have gathered quite a lot of stuff and memories (Our daughter Ellie was born in Villefranche). We will miss many things but are very much looking forward to: regular employment, seeing our families more, meeting old friends, friendly bustling pubs, longer opening hours and the general happy & helpful servility culture that is often lacking in South-west France.  However we will miss greatly, the natural beauty here, our amazing view, the wonderful weather, piece & quiet, good food & wine and all the friends we’ve made over the years….and cheese…and wine… wine, better take some with us!
Our main e-mail  (lecombal) has been blocked, so anyone who wishes to contact us please use my work e-mail (Leila.design@hotmail.com) Thank you. My MCL Design advert will expire soon but I may continue to work from the UK once we’ve settled in. I’ll let you know.
We wish you all a great summer and a great Salon du jardin d'été & Picnic in the park!
Leila, Graham and Ellie McLelland X
