Here comes Summer

I might be a little previous here, but this is what we came to France for, warm cloudless days in the beautiful Brittany countryside. The weather has been warming slowly over the last week and now it's seems to have skipped Spring and headed straight for Summer, it hit a high of 27C in the shade today. The garden has gone through the most notable changes, with the daffodils and hycacinths blooming, the trees budding and the grass growing.

To celebrate we all went to the beach this morning to stretch our legs, play football and build sand castles. Blow the winter cobwebs and gloom away. The kids wanted to go in the sea but I think it's going to be a while before the sea temperature catches up.

Spirits are up, guests arriving later this week and the gite season is off and running.

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.
