Patio edging

Granite sets edging the patio in front of the giteAs if we hadn't abused our bodies enough yesterday, Ian and I decided to lay the granite edging stones ready for a patio. With the chape finished in the gite and the electricity trench dug and filled it meant we could sort out the front of one gite. No more lorries to churn everything up.

We slightly under estimated the amount of work involved and by the end of the day after mixing the umpteenth load of concrete we hit the pub toute suite. Beer always tastes fantastic immediately after a hard days labour. Don't get changed, just go to the nearest bar and order two cold beers. Reminds me of the closing scene in Ice-Cold in Alex although we've got a few more mountains to climb.

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.
