How has your week been so far? We've had Justin's Dad and brother come to stay, and have enjoyed showing them our new life in Occitanie.
Next week I'm excited to have my Mum come to visit, all the way from Australia. It will be awesome to get her interior design input on our remodel so far. We're also looking forward to drinking these champagne cocktails while we watch the royal wedding.
Our dream was to have a house comfortable enough for family and friends to come and stay, and so far it seems to be working out :-)
