Well, having closed the site a couple of weeks ago we are now planning for 2008!Apologies to those of you who came in the early part of the season that the blog has not kept you up to date with the progress but we had a great season once the work had finally come to an end - it wasn't all finished by any means but at least we were able to let people enjoy their holidays without the accompaniment of heavy machinery.
The pool was a great success - now we just have the terrace on top of the pool house to complete - and made a huge difference to the site in spite of the pretty awful weather. The hard-standing pitches proved very popular but will be much improved next year with a finer layer of gravel on top and planting in between.
Talking of planting, we have just had a quick trip down to Girona to a nursery specialising in grasses and managed to fit nearly 500 plants into our new trailer to start us off!
It was a long trip but well worth it and we stopped off on the way back to get a couple more paella dishes!!
The solar panels were all delivered a couple of weeks ago and the work should start to fit them later in November so we can then finally work on insulating the shower block roofs.
Today is a big day as Sophie and Paul are setting off on their 5 month trip around the far-East (see link on right) and Chloe and Jeff are signing the final contract on their house between Thouars and Bressuire - the sparkly is in the fridge ready!
