Our first guests in the new gite

I've been taking a well earned rest this week, partly because of my cut wrist and also because we've had some friends from the UK stay for a week. It's been a chance to recharge the batteries a bit.

Our friends stayed in one of the new gites, which mean't last week we put on a real push to try to finish it. The gite is not quite done - missing skirting and architraves - but it was certainly habitable. We had a few local friends help with the final few days and managed to finish all the painting, kitchen finished, all the electrics and plumbing, bathrooms complete etc. A big thank you to everyone.

There is still a week or so finishing off, pictures, more furniture, little details, but one gite is almost complete. It's quite a relief to see something after months and months of hard work.

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.
