(Re-) Cycling fridge

Saint Amandine

Caroline and I will have to work hard to do three gite change overs and get out by 14:00 to see the Tour de France in Evran tomorrow. It passes though Calorguen (the home of Bernand Hinault) and Dinan.

We had to go out today to buy a new fridge to replace one in the gites. One of the shelves in the old one got busted, and it often ices up. It needed replacing, and fortunately we could go Friday and didn't get the bad news on a Saturday. If people tell you about breakages on their way out it does give you much time to replace or repair.

Anyway, the fridge buying route happened to coincide with the route for The Tour. We knew because of all the large fluorescent yellow arrows marking the way. So it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.

Throat is still very sore, but getting better. I'm fed up with yoghurt and ice-cream tho'.

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.
