Hectic morning and a hectic week ahead getting ready for Easter. I'm helping a friend with some plumbing, which is a minor distraction but not a problem. French plumbing, there's a cue for a story.

Finished all the work in Cerise gite, started laying new gravel out the front and finally finished all my logging ready for next year. Well deserved curry tonight. Huge ToDo list, but I'll plod through it.

I've decided to make this blog, less like a diary but an account of running a Gite business. The change to France and the ongoing events in the summer (with guests) and winter (work, maintenance etc.)

Usual chaotic breakfast, but the kids have left for school. Bit frosty outside this morning so start with the internal jobs. Work through the todo list, well infact write the todo list !

Chirac got a roasting in the local French elections.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
