St Georges

The green gates are history. All chopped up and disposed of. All in all it looks much better without the gates, really opens the place up.

Finally finished the hedge trimming for the friend with a holiday home. Looks got but it was hard work. It took about two days, as estimated, but because of the weather and other commitments the elapsed time was quite a bit longer.

A job I have been putting off for ages is tidying up my workshop. Well I say workshop, it's more of a dumping ground for all my tools, and various other junk. Screws, nails, wood, pipework, stuff. The problem is I have been so busy I just dump everything in the workshop and walk away. It does cause quite a few problems searching for things. So this afternon I spent a few hours sorting all the tools and tidying everything up. It's amazing what 'lost' items turn up. Just got to try to keep it that way.

Hugh went to the cinema today with school and saw 'The Three Eskimos' in French. Well we think thats what he saw. Both the children have loads of outing with school to zoos, theaters, cinemas, etc. Along with the three course lunches and two hours afternoon naps, it sounds fantastic.

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.
