Gite Gite Gite
Saint Évrard
Gosh, Saturday's seem to come round so fast. Three gites to changeover this week, but the good news is all three families are staying for two weeks, so we get next Saturday off ! I've no idea how we are going to manage with 5 gites. To do all three gites today took Caroline over 7 hours and me about 4 hours. Caroline does the bulk of the cleaning in the gites and I do all the fetching and carrying of linen, supplies etc., clear the patios and gardens and and minor maintenance jobs. Fortunately this week there was nothing broken, just a bit of preventative maintenance on the septic tank. One of my favourite jobs :-)
The last day or so has seen better weather and the farmers have been collecting
in all the straw today as it's had a chance to dry out. In fact it's just going
dark at 22:00 and a Combine Harvester has gone past. I'm not sure if that is good
or bad weatherwise. At least we are not getting battered by hurricanes like in
Florida.
