Autumn is here

The autumn has really set in here. We're getting strong westerly winds together with rain.

Today was the first day for a fire - after a lovely Sunday lunch of Roast Chicken with all the trimmings and a very English Pear Upsidedown Pudding, we're all snuggled up in front of the fire watching television.

Despite the mauvais temps the grass is still growing at a pace and this morning was spent mowing a very soggy lawn. Whilst doing this I heard one of our cockerels doing his first crow - more of a cough than a crow, but I'm sure we're soon to be woken to loud cock-a-doodle-doos - Oh no! I remember he's French so it will be Cock-a-Rico!

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.
