Seems like that's your house in the framed photo behind the Christmas cactus in a post from December of 2008. Looking at French realty sites, there seem to be lots of homes for sale that are covered by ivy; looks nice, but must be terrible for the structures.<br />Dean Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317311364315454284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-61346409733552143622014-02-02T05:02:04.749+01:002014-02-02T05:02:04.749+01:00I hope 2014 proves to be a good year for you and y...I hope 2014 proves to be a good year for you and yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-68252996136135105802014-02-02T03:07:31.879+01:002014-02-02T03:07:31.879+01:00You have made a lovely home.

Paul and I have passed our 42 wedding anniversary; we know.<br />All these photos without wires and poles makes us dreamy for next year when we get rid of the telephone wires hanging in our street. They've done all the underground work and repaved the street and sidewalk, so we're just waiting for the wiring, which will include telephone and optical fiber!Ellen Lebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929639076042070115noreply@blogger.com
