We are still busy at La Vieille Grange but having a real plan of action and a week off every third week keeps it as a paying bobby and fun which is a great plus.
We have just been given a great review by an Army officer who stayed. 'Fantastic hosts, beautiful house in a wonderful setting and the food was Michelin star quality served at home' I will settle for a comment like that!
Kept our guests on their toes yesterday at breakfast as I managed to fill the sugar bowl with salt. For a couple of our guests Weetabix will never taste the same again. My ploy of saying that salt is good on Porridge didn't cut it. They did see the funny side of it but I will never live it down.
Our guests seem to eat more and more of my home made bread and some of the repeat business we have been asked by e mail do we still do our version of Beuf Bourgenon and home made bread before they book. We have not tested as to whether they would still come if we didn't,
Weather here so unpredictable. One evening we are out having drinks and dinner in our 'Ruin, secret garden' the next evening we are inside with the heating on, what is going on?
Because we have been busy it's been difficult to fit family and friends in this year but I am sure we will manage.
Our daughter gets her BAC results on Friday the 6th of July in the morning and in the afternoon she flys off to start a two week training course with the TA in the UK. I really hope that she enjoys it.
Lots of gardening and DIY to catch up with this 'Week off' The grass is growing as you look at it.
Pinger just gone for my bread so go I must or I will end up with burnt offerings.
