Lorca, all the best with selling your lovely property and moving on. We sold our beautiful property in the Dordogne three years ago and moved closer to the sea, in a small and friendly village in Charente Maritime. Despite a few health problems, it's all worked out well and we've enjoyed putting our...

The ideal number of photos will vary depending on the complexity of the gite and its surrounding attractions, but the best advice is to ensure that you've covered all the essential facets of your property from the selling viewpoint and always to use only the finest pix that you have available. Never...

GG, welcome back to LMH - the Hotel California of internet forums! A lot has indeed changed since you and I sold our gites in 2014 and I'm sure the active owners on here wil fill you in. I couldn't have tolerated a listing site coming between me and prospective guests - but that's just me (in the sa...

Would rather see a woman covered up than boobs and bums fully exposed and middle aged flab hanging down everywhere. I spent yesterday at a water park with my two young nieces where every type of body was on display. The girls are too young to be judgemental about bodies, they just saw a whole lot o...

I wonder what your website is like Jimbob? Do tell and share? Can't help you there, I'm afraid. We sold our Dordogne gite complex two years ago and retired to the Charente Maritime. Our gite website, which had been refined with assistance from the kindly and knowledgeable members on LMH, was delete...

Morris, there's a lot of enjoyment to be had from creating your own website, even if you don't have the skills for the job, but that website should only be for fun and, maybe, for learning the expertise to produce something more sophisticated in the future. If you're promoting a professional busines...

Re: Plagiarism
It took me a long time to work on my own website and they can just come along and copy. No they can't. Not legally. Unless you acquiesce. If they are shots by a professional photographer whom you hired, maybe they have steps they can take. Depends if you insisted on having the copyright to the pict...

It can be impossible for some people to understand the feelings of others, which makes it easy to dismiss those feelings as irrelevant. Once someone can recognise that it's impossible for them to understand, they might then recognise the pointless nature of their posts, even if they can't understan...

It’s about a vision of the sort of country I want to belong to. I am (or was) proud to be British, but I’m also proud to be a European. I liked it that my country was part of a group of nations that has shared values – of human rights, free healthcare, multiculturalism, protection of the environmen...

Maybe the agreements reached will not agree with the Brexiters. I think this is a given. Two of the main brexit planks - cutting immigration and diverting EU funding to the NHS - had already been declared impossible before the ink was dry on the voting slips. Fortunately for his many fans, Boris wa...

Why does any of us, regardless of which way we voted have any say or control in this matter? The people of the country are the pawns whether remain or leave voters. We don't get a say in the government of the day, that vote was cast at the general election. We don't get a say in the PM resigning an...
