Saint Fulbert

All the guests had checked-out of the gites by 9:30 this morning. It makes things a little easier for us as we get a bit of extra time to clean, tidy and re-stock each gites with the bread/wine and croissants welcome pack.

The grass is growing like the clappers at the moment. Warm and wet seems to be a great recipe. The ride-on mower is going to earn it's keep this spring. It's already had a busy winter lugging all my logs about.

Moles. Moles and more moles. Brittany seems to be plagued with moles. They are burrowing everywhere at the moment, and always pop-up where you least expect and want them. Fortunately the croquet lawn has escaped unscathed, but time will tell. Any suggestions to solve my mole problem would be most welcome.

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.
