The long Road

So at last after 2 years of searching, talking, viewing and soul searching we are finally there! This beautiful chateau dating from the early 1200's is now ours. What a journey it has been, this road to this chateau! It started back in mid February, right in the middle of the ski season! Not the best time for me to drive 10 hours from Austria to France for a viewing. But in reality the long road to owning a chateau had actually started many many years earlier in the mid 1990's when I was asked by a business associate to use my transit to take some large paintings from his house in the UK to his French chateau. That was when the "wow" happened. Classic French style, white walls & blue shutters with those beautiful steep sloping high roofs, pretty much love at first sight and the idea that well...... "one day" Then life moves on fast as it does and life happens as it does and the years go by and one day you find yourself sitting in front of the TV watch
