The skies looked a strange hue of bluey-grey last night before sunset. It looked like snow was on the way but we've had such mild weather so far through the Autumn it seemed unlikely.

This morning we woke to a blanket of snow. Skye, our new Golden Retriever who's now 4 months old, didn't know what to make of it. His first snow and Golden's love the snow so he was very happy.

For us it's nice but already being in lockdown has kind of put another lock on the door as it's not always so practical to travel the hills especially is my Mercedes that doesn't grip much on the best of days. At least it gives me the chance to update the website a little and write this news post.

I did write a week or two ago about the Covid effect on the area and the property market and it's safe to say it's only getting better. Much more interest and I even have clients from completely different sides of the world contemplating buying without viewing. That's how urgent the market is!

The first lockdown was swallowed up by cooking and baking so this lockdown version 2 is all about diet.. So boring but it has to be done. We do the 'Joe Cross juice diet'. Look it up if you need to lose weight easily and fast. Once this is done I plan to start making YouTube videos here in my office that is now all set up for recording that will be all about the area and the house buying process. If you have anything you would like an answer to or a clear explanation of some aspect of life or buying a home here drop me an email or a WhatsApp message.

The photo of the Italian beauty is architect Franca Bagnulo. We work together so if you need her services get in touch with me as you'll probably need translation and she's available for anyone that buys a home through us. Franca's email: archfrancabagnulo@gmail.com

Stay warm and safe and I look forward to meeting you in the very near future!
