Oak Joinery in France...

...Thankfully costs nowhere near as much as in England.

One very kind friend had been worrying that we have spent about £10,000 on the new beam in the kitchen.

We haven't; it was way [WAY] less than that.

I can't remember what we paid for it, but even with sterling in a tailspin, it was still a bargain if that's what if would have cost here!

Please tell my mum...
