It has been a fair few days since my last post so I thought I should post an update tonight before I sleep. Talking of sleep, I have been washed out since my latest all night drive from England to Normandy. I left at 0200 on Friday morning and arrived here at about 1500. Needless to say, I felt exhausted when I finally arrived!
The reason for the all night drive was to enable to bring all of my tools from England. We have a refurbishment programme for our gite accommodation which is planned for November. When our last guests have departed, work will commence on our new social area. Our plan is to turn an unused room in to an area where guests can hang out and socialise. I also plan to put in a PS3 and large screen TV. This will be used for Call of Duty nights during the high season. Guests will be able to battle it out safe in the knowledge that no real guns will be fired. In very different circumstances to that of 1944!
There are a number of other upgrades that I plan to do, but for the moment, I am concentrating on the social room. You know how men can be; start a job, but never finish. I have no choice as I will only have a couple of months before the guests start arriving in 2011. Two months sounds a lot, but with a new baby due smack bang in the middle of them, I'm sure the time will pass by quicker than I imagine. They say that time flies when you are having fun; does it fly when you don't?
