Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool

We are currently enjoying some great weather at the Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool and after breakfast I decided to hit the road again on the mountain bike. I did the same route as yesterday up to Locmine and back which is 15 miles in just a pair of shorts and it was wonderful, I guess I was on the road for over an hour and it that time only 6 or 7 cars passed me.

I have some friends living the other side of Baud who are all keen cyclist, their father once riding for the UK team and all agree that the reason why Brittany is so popular for cyclist is because you have great roads to ride with a small amount of traffic on them.

The weather is set to last so I'll get out on the bike again tomorrow, not only for the cardio but to top up my tan.

The new guest have settled into La Forge and are out most days exploring, yesterday they went down to Carnac and today they visited Josselin.

All guest agree that the Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool is ideally situated to explore the delights of Brittany.

One of my pleasures at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool is transforming the garden. Ive spent several thousand pounds over the last 4 years in new plants to create a wonderful garden for my enjoyment and that of the guest of the holiday cottage.

All the planting is done from the view point of the terrace over looking the garden and private pool and from the sun bed area around the pool.

The main theme being to plant sub tropical plants, so while guest are sun bathing or enjoying the pool the setting is wonderful to relax and unwind. One of the perks of keeping the chickens is that the garden population of wild birds has increased so amongst all the plants bird song can be heard throughout the day.

After 4 years Ive finally managed to get my 'Bird of Paradise' plant to flower this year (as seen in the enclosed picture). The trick was to take it indoors between October and April and to keep it pot bound, to the extent the roots have split the pot.

Guest staying at La Forge the holiday cottage with private heated pool last week saw the flowers burst open.

Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym

With another beautiful day today at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym I decided to get out on the mountain bike and do some much needed cardio. I rode to Locmine and back which is around a 14 mile ride.

This evening I'll use the gym for a back and biceps workout, the training is going really well since I've got back into it from Easter.

The gym at the Brittany holiday cottage is available for all guest to use during their holiday at La Forge.

Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool

Yesterday was a changeover day at the Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool and the guest departing told me Friday evening that they would be leaving at 10 am. With that in mind I popped down too Baud before 9am to see if the guy selling livestock had any egg producing Ducks for sale, the majority of his Ducks for sale are for meat.

I was in luck in that he had one egg producing bird amongst 20 that were for the pot, it lacked a lot of feathers on its back but apart from its shabby appearance the guy assured me it was fine.

As soon as i released it amongst the other birds, they attacked the poor youngster, 2 weeks ago when i bought the other Duckling it was accepted by all the birds with no problems and the existing Duck literally took it under its wing and protected it.

What a difference with the new bird, this time it was the existing Duck that was the most aggressive literally climbing on its back and biting its head. I quickly rescued the youngster and have built a temporary secluded section within the existing run, the other birds can see it but cant get at it. I think I will leave it in there for 2 weeks before I introduce it to the other birds, one to let the feathers grow back and to allow it to grow.

I don't know if its shabby appearance had any thing to do with the onslaught but I did not want to loose another Duckling.

When I bought the hens they were lacking alot of feathers and looked shabby themselves but they soon grew back and look really healthy now and fully grown after 8 weeks of being with me. Mine are twice the size of a friends birds who bought there's the same weekend, there's are left to forage for food most of the day and are fed twice per day with chicken feed, where as mine have a constant supply of food in the chicken run.

The chickens and birds have been one of the best buys for the holiday cottage, guest staying at la Forge especially the children enjoy feeding them scrapes and interacting with them.

The Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool is available to rent all year, please check website for availability, we are now taking bookings for 2011.

I must admit it was horrible saying good bye to the guest that have been staying at the Brittany holiday cottage with heated private swimming pool for the last 2 weeks, they were such a nice group.

It must be a Scottish thing because Ive had several Scottish family's stay over the last 4 years at La Forge and all have been so friendly and easy going, its always been a pleasure having them stay.

They said they had a great holiday and the cottage was in a terrific location to enjoy the best of Brittany. They all enjoyed the swimming pool and as it was so hot throughout there holiday that they were in and out of the water all the time.

I hope to see them again in the years to come, enjoying another holiday at La Forge the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool.

The pool at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool is looking so inviting with the hot weather we are currently enjoying. On the weather forecast yesterday within the website it stated that the temperature was 24 degrees in Vannes however the current guest were saying this morning that the thermometer in Baud showed 31 degrees yesterday.

I know I had to keep moving out of the sun to cool down, it was to hot to sunbath all day long.

The current guest are really nice and it will be a shame to see then go, the young lad is really into building so as a treat I asked him to help me build a new gate for the chicken run, out came all his tools and he really got involved in the project.

It looks like the new guest arriving tomorrow at la Forge Brittany holiday cottage will enjoy a super week for good weather.
