Telephones

It's a bit ironic that after France Telecom phoned about ADSL last night our telephone line has gone on the blink. It's still useable for voice but it's so crackley that modem speeds are way down and we keep losing the connection. Caroline phone FT this morning and they arrived this afternoon to fix the problem after testing the line remotely. Unfortunately, Caroline was out and I was round the back and missed them. They are coming tomorrow morning to have another go. Pretty good service really.

I've spent quite a while rubbing down the windows and door in Cerise ready for Caroline to start painting tomorrow. We've had a clear spell of weather so while it's dry we may as well take advantage. Hopefully we should get a couple of coats on before Saturday when we have people arriving.

Seventeen mole hills popped up today, and to really rub my nose in it, they where all within a few feet of my mole deterrent. I reckon there must be a whole city down there.

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.
