Staint Gisele

We went shopping this morning for the correct sized pipe for the pond filter. Came away with a lily and 10 new goldfish. They look really small compared to the 5 Koi. Hopefully they should grow. With luck the 2 old and 1 new lily should flourish now Caroline has repotted them and provide a bit of shade to stop the pond going green. Along with the new filters we should be in for a clear summer.

Cows arrived in the back field today. They came about this time last year, ate all the grass in about 4 weeks then got moved on to another pasture.

The main start of the season begins tomorrow. We got at least one gite occupied from now until September so I've been around and checked all the electrical equipment, fire extinguishers in the gites and put new batteries in the smoke alarms. Most of the other items get checked every Saturday during the changeover.

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.
