Spring in the air

I think Spring must have arrived in this part of Brittany.

The last couple of days have been really mild and there is a definite spring feel outside. The birds have started singing, the chickens are laying double quantity and our new male duck is getting very frisky with his goose 'mother'. I think the lighter evenings have kicked everything into gear.

Caroline and I have abandoned work inside for the last two days to take advantage of the weather. We been mowing lawns (which sadly revealed some serious hidden mole activity), painting fences, a bit of gardening and tidying.  Caroline has gone off to our local farmer - whose tractor lifted the plasterboard - to help milk his herd of cows. A bit of Ricard inside Caroline this evening and a pint of full fat milk on my cornflakes tomorrow.

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.
