Caravan, what Caravan?

The confidence that everything was and would proceed smoothly from now on has been rudely shattered. Yes we have a caravan and superficially it looks fine - a reasonable purchase. But on closer inspection by a local company serious flaws emerge into the light of day - it has not got a water pump and the burner for the water heater system is shot. Most significantly it has a small gas leak somewhere inside and this renders it totally unsafe to use.

So we are now into the business of trying to resolve this - as the trader who sold it me has said - "See you in court then!" And this completely screws up our planning for the next steps - notwithstanding the caravan issue I have to be in Arné to meet the architect next week.

So it's a stay in B & B with an English couple quite close to Arné for me - much more comfortable than the caravan - but only for the week, so the amount of progress is likely to be quite small. Then it's back home to try to resolve the caravan position and whenever that has happened I'll tow it, or a replacement, out and stay for a substantial period to push on with the work.
