Gite renovation sabatical
As some of you may have guessed I've been taking quite of bit of time off recently from the gite renovation work. The first of the two gites, Fraise, was finished at the beginning of September and we've since had some guests to stay. Lots of nice comments about the finish and presentation make the hard work worth it and a little out of season income is always welcome in a seasonal business.
The second gite, Abricot, got a little attention, a bit of tiling and fitting sanitaryware, but the fatigue had set in. So, time for a break. A sabatical. Apart from catching up with a few odd jobs around the house and the inevitable repairs etc. in the existing gites I've been taking it easy. Much more socialising (good for my French) going to the cinema (first time for three years), and generally catching up for the three lost years whilst we've been building a business.
But, there is still about two months work (maybe three) to finish off the second gite and that is planned to start in the new year. So until then I going to continue to relax, have a lazy Christmas and do some more of the things we all came to France to enjoy.
