Free winter fuel

A while ago there was a large party in the village with a number of BBQ's. The BBQ fuel was supplied as a container load of offcuts from a local staircase factory. Not all the wood was used so half of the left over wood was delivered. There was nearly two cubic meters of oak and exotic hardwood. With alot of help from Carolines parents it's now all safely stacked in the wood shed for future BBQs and winter heat. Shifting all the wood took about day, but as they say - you don't get something for nothing.

It seems a little ironic that we are having two new staircases fitted and stacking the offcuts from someone elses job.

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.
