Living in a Chateau

I'm loving living up on the top floor of the Chateau. It's good to have a proper kitchen for a change. I noticed a set of cat paw prints just in front of the stove this morning. A cat walked across the tiles drying in the sun more than 150 years ago. This last apartment in the Chateau will go on the market this year after a folding wall bed goes in
The loft apartment in the barn is great for entertaining but not quite so good for cooking a simple meal and hunkering down during the winter months. It's still open living with lots of light though. On some mornings I can look out and see the Pyrenees to the south. January is over next week and then I'll be looking for the first almond blossoms in the Minervois.
The materials to start the dividing walls for the first three units in Jardin de Charlotte arrived Saturday morning. Walls start to go up Monday morning.
