Dinan free music festival

ÉTÉ

The longest day, the start of Summer, and back to work on the gites after a day off yesterday. We had a fair amount of rain yesterday which highlighted a few thin patches in the gravel drive, so I shifted a couple of trailer loads to spread over the problem areas.

The leak in Lucy's concrete pond has slowly been getting worse, so I've taken advantage of the fact that she spends all her time on her nest incubating the duck eggs to fix the problem. It turns out that the crack run right across and feels like it's been caused by soil movement under the pond. I chiselled out the crack to enlarge it then put in a strong cement and fine sand mix to plug the gap. Find out tomorrow.

De-stoned 3kg of cherries this evening so Caroline can make some cherry jam.

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.
