Tuesday already

by Bobshouse on 10 Jun 2014, 05:53

I feel I have settled into a routine with this now and am entirely comfortable with it. This month I have two weekends of friends staying that will include a fasting day each time. I will still fast as it is my day to do so and will do a Hairy Dieters recipe for the evening meal. I am determined to keep my fast days set.
The latest bout of homesickness is back in its box with the lid nailed on tight. I am aware of it but am in control. Much the same as when fasting I tell myself I can have it tomorrow, the same applies to my need to go home. Tomorrow, or one day, it will happen. I am thinking of changing my name to Scarlet!
Our first guests depart this morning and the second ones arrive this afternoon. In between I will change the bed, towels etc and clean the Gite. Then I have to get a bit of shopping for the welcome pack and restock the cleaning products, toilet rolls etc. A busy day. I will be sorry to see our first lot go as we have enjoyed their company. We have had an enquiry from another person. If they book that will mean 8 this season. This is fantastic and validates our plan.
So, life plods on with the occasional blip but I know where I am going!

In for repair Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Is a 'gite' like a B&B? Do you cook for the guests as well as wash their sheets?

Tried to send a PM but don't think it wentbfor some reason. The idea of a Gite came from the French government some time ago to increase the farmers income. It was traditionally the wife that ran it. It would be a cottage on the farm rented out as self catering for a nominal fee. It was pretty basic when it first started. If you want to see our old farm have a look at our website....letertregites.com. Our grand plan is to have a complex of three Gites. Two one bedroomed and one three bedroomed. Our part of the world is popular with older couples.
