Permis de Construire

Permis de construire boardThe 'foreman' for the renovation works arrived today on a flying visit to nail up the sign with the permis de construire number and various other information, the local Marie, building surface area, contractors names etc. Every site has a board, I think it's a requirement to erect it 2 months before work commences to forewarn everyone, however he told us work will be starting in the beginning of October. |   5:27:17 PM  Use this to link to this item Permis de Construire   

Green monster

Unidentified green thingBit of a gardening marathon today. Looks like the weather is about to turn for the worst so we both got stucvk in and blitzed the mowing, strimming, weeding and general gardening stuff. While Caroline was digging she came across this huge green catepillar/slug thing with white and black diagonal stripes. The front end is bottom right and it's got a spike (tail) at the rear. The picture is about life-sized, 6–7 cm long. A very odd beast, identification comments welcome.

New gite renovation blog

I've started a separate category to blog all my entries regarding the gite renovations in one place. All the renovation posts will still be logged here in my main blog but will copied and collected together in a separate gite renovation blog for posterity.

So, to just read about the renovations visit gite renovation blog (or use the link top left) otherwise just continue reading here to see everything, old gites and new gites.

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.
