Saint Emma

Paul and I spent all day (apart from the obligatory 2 hours French lunch) chopping the top 10 or 15 feet off a friends leylandii hedge. A bit of a monster job, the hedge must be about a 100 feet long. I spent most of the time hopping from tree top to tree top lopping the unwanted branches and Paul collected and burnt all the debris.

Tomorrow we need to run over it with the hedge trimmer and tidy it all up.

I'm the red blob halfway up the hedge. It's a big hedge.

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.
