Some sad news...

Well, it's sad for us!

We saw M. Lorin when we were at the house in December (we didn't see him on our February visit), we thought he looked a lot happier...

We wondered whether he might have found a girlfriend!

We couldn't see what else would have changed...

He appeared on Thursday morning (he came to apologise because his friend hadn't fitted the letterbox, and arrange for him to fit in whilst we were there), and dropped a bombshell!

He no longer lives in the village - he moved out in mid-December, and has moved to a village near to Troyes.

Apparently the damp at his house was being caused by a wall his neighbour had built (without proper damp-proofing) that was drawing moisture into M. Lorin's house.

The damp was exacerbating his arthritis, and giving him asthma attacks.

He looks so much happier & healthier, so we're really happy for him.

But not so happy for us! :-(

I really hope that we will manage to keep in touch and stay friends...
