Had a lovely walk with the dogs from Verfeil to Ginals passing a big old house that has been for sale as long as I remember. It has obviously been sold and the shutters were thrown open and work was progressing in the surrounding field which is the garden. Another house further up the road here which also has been for sale for an age has now sold to a family from Belguim. I am told the price was dropped considerably to effect the sale. The market although difficult keeps moving, and to all nationalities it would appear. It will always be a difficult market here in the country. No work to attract people and we are just outside of the reach of the jobs in Toulouse, airbus etc. which Gaillac seems to pick up. We are an area for holidays and holiday makers and that is where we continue to get house sales and of course we can pick up the holiday trade with gites, camping, cycling holidays etc.
Malc and I just enjoy the quiet lanes for walking and driving now, and it is sublime.
