Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym

After a 3 month holiday ' Spike' our resident Cockeral was brought back too his run at the Brittany holiday cottage today. He was as happy as larry staying at a friends place with 15 hens to himself plus Ducks and Geese, this Saturday I'm popping out to the local market to buy some hens to keep him company.

The couple who looked after him for me kept the hens I had bought last year as part of the deal, I thought it easer to sell them rather than get someone to come to the cottage every day to look after them during the winter months.

Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym

After spending Christmas and the New year at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym I travelled back to the UK on 3rd January to take my daughter home. We tried a new route via L & D lines, Newhaven too Dieppe for only £80 return.

Dieppe is 300 miles from the cottage but with only a 4 hour ferry crossing rather than 6 hours on the other routes I felt fresh and the journey was fine.

Coming back to France on Friday 8th I was concerned with the snow and left early to arrive at Newhaven 2 hours prior to departure time and was to find the roads in France all grited and easy to drive. It was so nice to return and see the holiday cottage covered in snow.

Brittany holiday cottage with private pool

My first Christmas with my daughter at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool has been simply fantastic, we had friends come over for a couple of games nights, adults playing Balderdash while the children played on the Wii and for New year's eve we went and enjoyed a night at one of the friends homes.

We had a real tree provided by the local school and decorated with home made cone decorations that we made back in the UK. I also used a fishing rod to fire several lines over the large tree in the back garden to rig up a 60 meter set of Christmas lights.

La Forge was not booked this year but the cottage is available to rent for the festive period and would be decorated for the festivities.If you are interested in booking for Christmas 2010 please contact me to discuss options.
