30,000 visitors over the three days. All the big estate agents were exhibiting and then there was me - all on my own answering queries left right and centre:

Well summer has arrived in Brittany with a bang and today the temperature must have topped 30c. It was the kind of afternoon that really should be spent at the seaside with your toes dangling in cool water. I did think of driving down to the coast but I had a few things to sort out in town first, just a few things that really shouldn't take more than half an hour - but this is France so dream on!
