Saint Achille

It's Wednesday so Lizzie and Hugh don't go to school today. The weather for the last few days has been glorious so we decided to have a day out and go to the beach. After a couple of quick jobs round the house the four of us went to St Malo to have lunch then on to the beach at Rotheneuf. Just down the coast a few minutes from St Malo. A really nice relaxing day.

Of course it can't be all fun and no work, so Caroline put another coat of paint on the doors and windows whilst I have a quick run around with the mower. I made the mistake of putting the grass collectors on, and spent most of the time backways and forwards to the compost heap. The key is to cut a little and often then you don't have to collect the grass.

We had a phone message from ITV (the television company) saying they were making a TV series about peoples holidays and they are interested in a self-catering gite holiday. Very flattering, but I'm not too sure. I've seen some of these programs on TV and they usually only highlight the bad things for ratings. Need to call back for more details. If anyone else has experience of being involved in a TV reality show, press the comment button below (or mail me) and let me know.

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.
