Hi,

We are going to be in La Trimouille for 3 weeks at the end of August working on our house.

Can anyone recommend a local yoga class to stretch out all my aching muscles after a day of work?

Thanks

Hi

Can anyone recommend a TV aerial fitter. Think I need a new aerial

Eltex (UK ) quality bird feeders 3 galvanised,1 plastic (unknown make) all in good condition (no holes)

60 euros for the 4

From 31 October to December 11 Limoges will be shut, no flights at all. This because they are installing a new runway.

I had a letter from Linky SRD today informing me that Soregies (my electrical supplier) has decided it's time for my property to move to the 21st Century with a Linky meter. It's not going to help me very much, I suspect, as I submit my readings to Soregies for each bill and have power usage meters on devices that I know can prove expensive, but I don't seem to have a choice!

Does anyone have any experience with Linky meters that they could share, whether reassuring or terrifying? I can cope...

I have 40 cardboard cartons I used to move my books from Gers. All but around five in good condition and reusable. Still made up as boxes. I haven't flattened them.

There are also three jumbo coxes that contained a bedsettee from IKEA. As new.

And about half a dozen in between.

All in Saint Leomer.

Cheers

Peter

Hi All


Its been a while but finally having a breather from diy and the never ending bureacracy. Looking to get away but require a boarding kennels for the dog. Any recommendations ?

Good morning all,
If you were, like me, greeted by a faint haze in the air and a whiff of smoke when you went outside today, don't be alarmed.

The wind is now coming from the south west so is blowing the smoke from the Gironde forest fires (South of Bordeaux) in our direction. If tonight's promised rain arrives on schedule, everything should be clear and fresh again tomorrow.

Myself Andrea, and my partner Andy have recently bought a holiday home in Montmorillon.  We are returning this week for our second prolonged visit after an eventful first visit in April which flew by sorting out utilities etc. (We had no hot water for the first 5 days).  We love browsing in brocantes and markets for furniture to fill our new home.  Our French is poor but we are keen to learn so if anyone knows of any groups practicing French we'd love to hear about them.

Hello all!

I'd love to see more contributors here on Around Montmorillon and wondered if anyone had any suggestions for new topics or categories they would like to see included?
Please reply to this message with your suggestions!

Hello all,

Our 'new' (old) house does not have any form of sewerage and we have been exploring the idea of using some sort of reed bed system instead of a septic tank.

Does anyone know what the French regulations are for these sorts of alternative systems? and if they are more (or less) environmentally friendly than a traditional septic tank?  

We have a garden to accommodate either, I'm not sure about the slope of the land at the moment.  

Given that we are starting from scratch we quite like the idea of keeping it all as low impact as possible (within reason)

Thanks in advance

Kit.

A question from brother - is there anywhere in Montmorillon showing that football match tonight please?

Cheers

I have received a Panasonic breadmaker as a gift. As I already have one, it's of no use to me.

It's the SD-B2510 - full details here. (That's actually the Panasonic UK website but it's the same machine, apart from the fact that mine has a French plug rather than a UK one.)

The box has been opened but the breadmaker has never been removed and is still in its original protective wraps and packaging.

The typical price is 150€ and the lowest I have found (in-store or online) is 138.99€. Make me an offer - highest wins  

As long as you're within an hour or so drive of Montmorillon I'll deliver it myself. If you're further afield, get in touch!

Hello all,

I am wondering if there are any good markets in and around Montmorrillon - I love a good market - food and nick-nacks.  

We have family coming with us in August (23rd - 31st) and it would be good to have a list of days out.  

Thanks

Kit
