Another busy week of B&B

Well! What a very busy week we have had. So busy in fact that we needed to take over and manage part of a friends Gite complex to accommodate extra guests. All our guests have eaten in too so that has been great fun. It is though a half six start and a midnight finish. No worries we have a week end off and more guests on Monday.
I have made an old pantry into a kitchen as it gives me somewhere to Prep for Jane and also I can experiment with my bread making. This now also frees up the main kitchen for Jane. Some old boys when they retire have a shed I have a kitchen!
Jane cooks beautiful food and considering she is vegetarian she manages to get all her meat dishes perfect. Good knowledge of how to season is the trick she tells me.
The internet and e mails have made the world so much smaller. I have just received a lovely parcel from Marks and Spencer with all sorts of clothes in. If they all fit it will be fine but if they don't, well we will see.
It's our thirtieth wedding anniversary next October and we have been trying to decide where or what to do. We even contemplated the Orient express down to Venice but have now decided on a beautiful hotel on the Amalfi coast. We would rather stay somewhere expensive and memorable for seven days than somewhere that's all right for fourteen. Time to start saving!
Christmas round the corner and lots to do as we have friends for Christmas.
Trying to get more alterations done to the living side of our B&B as we are spending more time in that side. Just really trying to make it more cozy really. Time and money as always!
Off now to get my daughter from a friends. Taxi service as usual at week ends.
