The first year of running a business will always be hard work. However in amongst that there are glimpses of why such a business is both useful and heart warming. Some of which I saw today. I am currently full and will be mostly full for the next few weeks. I am hoping that thisContinue reading “As it should be…”

So I’m sure you’ve watched the programmes. I look at them and wonder how people can get themselves into such pickles and have only 20 minutes to finish painting a room before the guests arrive. Well now I know! Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! So it all started Friday night.Continue reading “Escape to the new life….”

Well all I can say is what a busy day and it’s not over yet. I have two guests arriving late. So I really don’t know what time I will be finished. I will be going up to the village shortly and hope to get everything sorted then. I have failed to take any interestingContinue reading “Friday again!”

I took the dogs out relatively early this morning. Whilst up in the woods a deer ran across in front of me. Whilst I was still thinking wow and where is it going at that speed, Archie followed in hot pursuit. To be fair he was some distance behind it and as soon as IContinue reading “I think it’s the heat…”

I know I say it regularly but I really don’t know where the time goes. This morning there came a point where I looked to see how long it had been since I got up, 5 hours. In that time I had managed to answer some emails, take a booking and organise the diary. ThisContinue reading “En retard”

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to work out what it was. In the meantime I did listen to aContinue reading “Summer’s here”

It has been quite a week one way and another and I’m very glad it’s Friday night. Weekends are usually the busiest time in the gite but I have managed to set up the rooms for tomorrow today so there won’t be too much work tomorrow. I am now sat outside enjoying the sunshine atContinue reading “One night stands!”

Last night I decided that given I had been prescribed tramadol, now was the time to take one. Well I won’t be doing it again in a hurry! Whilst I had a pain free night getting up this morning was more than some what challenging. I felt drunk or at least slightly woozy. So itContinue reading “Tramadol, treats and transactions”

Today is the 14th July which in France is a national holiday as the title would suggest. English speaking countries tend to refer to it as Bastille Day, however this is not the name that the French use. Having now lived in France for just over a year this is the 2nd Fete Nationale thatContinue reading “Fete Nationale”
