Salut! It's been a while. An eventful while. Life has moved quietly on these past months, and the enveloping Frenchness of life in the Languedoc became a memory, rather than a hope, as everyday life encroached.
Financial markets have been fraught, housing markets depressed. Buyer confidence low, petrol prices high. Unrest, disturbance, turbulence, unsurety and sometimes just tedium has prevailed. There have been some high spots..
Cadel Evans won La Tour..
....and Samantha Stosur won the US Open.
Go Aussies!
The weather has been perfect, the jacarandas in splendid bloom, the beaches beautiful again after the ravages of last summer's cyclones. It's been a terrific year for the NZ sauvignon blancs.
I've seen a lot of Sarah, been re-united with Tenille, drunk magnums of champagne and danced around the living room wearing assorted hats.
But there was always something just not quite right, a nostalgia, a feeling.

Where was the new chapter, the life change, la vie en rose? Was it not meant to be? For a while, it seemed so. We left it in the lap of the gods, and suddenly - there it was! In a matter of 4 days we went from On the Market to Unconditional and we had our answer. Yes, you are on your way! Yes, it is going to happen! Say goodbye to Australia and bonjour to France!
We will arrive Spring 2012, Montpellier it is. A momentous occurrence. "Be careful, you may get what you think you want........" Watch this space.
