It has been one of those days. It started with me relaxing, staying in bed longer and reading my book. I think I should have stayed there! I got up just as an enquiry from Airbnb came in, someone wanting a room this evening. Airbnb can automatically book rooms with 24 hours notice however lessContinue reading “Se blesser!”

I might just go back to the UK for a quieter life! This week has become quite a run around. I started writing this whilst sitting in my car waiting for some clients to arrive. They arrived exactly as they had said that they would, so it worked well. I got up at the sameContinue reading “I might just…”

I apologise in advance there won’t be much tonight I’m really quite tired. I ended up doing about 3 hours driving today. I am seriously out of practice and found it really quite exhausting. I had agreed to drive and pick up an awkward item for a friend. This meant that I had to takeContinue reading “For those who know me…”

I find that life can change here very quickly and when you’re least expecting it. I should be getting used to that by now but I’m not. I need to realise that if you are in the hospitality business things are often very transient. Yesterday evening I finished the hat that I had been talkingContinue reading “From one day to the next!”

Yesterday started with breakfast at the gite, so I was up early to bake breads and to get up there to set the table. Later on we had a friend over for lunch and then were able to listen to our youngest on his radio programme.  Today was my husband’s 2nd covid vaccination, so thisContinue reading “Catching up, 2nd jab and a surprise”

Each year my husband greets me with this on the day. I rarely remember in advance that it is that day of the year. However after 20 something years I should be starting to remember. The day is always organised around the game. So things that need doing must be done early because once theContinue reading “Happy cup final day!”

Usually I am on the ball about what day of the week it is. However today I’ve been convinced that it is Saturday all day. I think part of the issue has been that for the first time in over a month we have had guests for 4 consecutive nights. This morning the people whoContinue reading “What day is it?”

I am opening today’s post with a song. I hope that you take the time to listen to it and enjoy the lyrics. I’m not saying that they are all relevant today but later you’ll get the gist. I also really like the song. So we had guests last night who were lovely. They phonedContinue reading “‘Things I learned this year’”

Sometimes the day races past and all I can do at this point is collapse in a chair. Today has been one such day. It has been busy but we have achieved things so I’m quite happy. A friend who is a great photographer had said that he would be happy to photograph the giteContinue reading “Crochet for mindfulness”

Today has been about the gite and mindfulness in the main. We have three bookings for this week now so we need to ensure that everything is up and running. I really do need to update Airbnb, it just all takes time. Today I attended the first of a new series of mindfulness sessions thatContinue reading “A small piece of dried fruit”
