Fed up with life in the UK we moved to France for a new start. Left behind the private schooling, traffic jams and housing estates for a better quality of life. We now live in Brittany, France running gites (holiday cottages).

Caroline and the children found a dead Kestrel at the front of the house today. I looked like it had flown into a window and died. The interesting thing about it was that it was ringed. Caroline did a bit of research and found out that it belonged to someone in Brussels, Belgium. Thats a flight of about 530kms (330 miles).
Caroline is going to phone up and at least let the owner know what happened to his bird.

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.
