After tenants moved into Chateau AthoTurnbull on Jan 3rd, Paulie and Stephen moved to Chateau Atho, ST Lucia. Chris and Louise were very generous, but it worked out well for all as they were spending January at their beach pad. Chris dropped in for work durning the week and both joined us at a farewell feast at Clan Traynors. Olivia relocated to Kenmore at Lochie's family home.
Much socialising, packing and preparation helped make for a less stressful exit on Jan 23. Mother and child spent a lot of time together and tears were shed more than once, but Olivia is booked to join the French connections in semester break in June. James Atherton drops in for a visit Feb 1st, and Paulie and Stephen plan to visit Nick and Elena in Barcelone ASAP.
Tenants one week in, Stephen does the gardening. Looks great
