Photography

As someone who used to dabble in quite a lot of paid photography work, I can confirm that it got ever more frequent that people were not willing to pay for good pictures and they can make a difference. I am over in France in 2 weeks if that is of any help in the Limousin at our house there. See www....

Green-acres.com is a good site to use as a buyer anyway. we saw our house on this, and you can advertise without using an immo.

We have had a funny year too. We had quite a lot of bookings in December and this filled up some of the summer, though July was completely free. In the last week we have filled July all bar this week! All at full price with no discounts asked for either. In fact I had 2 enquiries on Saturday for the...

Sorry booked that week too! The next week would have been okay, though the dog may be a problem if it is allowed on the furniture! :(

Thanks Giddy (and apologies for the long delay in replying) I am now listed, though the site owners were a little concerned that our chang-over day was a Sunday (to be changed next year) and that we didn't have a 'greeter' for our guests, but this has not been a problem with our French Guests so far...

Hi Giddy

Yes I must get my 'Web master' to include our rates for this next couple of years.

Thank you for the link, I will investigate the costs, and apologies for not coming back to you sooner.

Getting Dutch visitors

Apparently the Dutch love the Limousin (so I have been told). As our gîte is furnished for the 'taller' visitor I am 6'2" and the missus 5'10", is there a French property site reaching the Dutch ?

Currently on OD and Arbeteil at the moment.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Photovoltaic cells and solar energy Limousin

Does anyone know of an installer (preferably with a little English as my French is still poor) in the Limousin (Creuse) region? We let our property as a holiday let, and as the majority of these lettings are during the summer, the installation of these energy producing items should reduce our electr...

Thank you very much for the kind words. I will add prices in due course, plus some pieces about the area, for which I am slowly taking the pictures. I will change bits and pieces. Thanks for the comments on my photos, I do dabble a little in Pro Photography, though my regular job comes first, so not...

She sits any where but in the seat! When she does sit in the seat she then shows off by sitting with her feet hooked over the sides, up past her ears, usually eating her toes or other body parts.

Must feed her proper food.

Another vote for the ikea one from us too, we have one at home and one at our place in France. Vary easy to clean, even wheatabix! The legs do come off, I am not sure if several without legs would nest one inside the other. Yes don't forget the tray! Our 1 year old daughter seems to find it comforta...
