Agencies and other headaches, keys and cleaners, running costs and contracts...in short, all the things we spend so much of our time doing behind the scenes.<br>
A recent visitor from the US has been keeping an internet blog of her trip which included the following extract...
"there was a washing machine at the gite, but no dryer. I don't think that I've ever used a clothes line outside to dry clothes. It was cool. "
From now on we are withdrawing as many facilities as possible from our properties to see how cool we can be. So I am looking for suggestions on what I else I could successfully not provide...
"we are withdrawing as many facilities as possible from our properties"
Marcus, this is brilliant, and good news for the planet.
You live in a rainy part of France, so you could - you should!- withdraw cooking facilites: impossible where we are, as forest fires make outdoor cooking hazardous.
However, we have a river & I think I could safely withdraw both the bath tub and the washing machine itself.
Being a cautious & considerate owner I will probably stop at that, but this is an exciting new trend & I hope we are not alone in following it.
ps are you increasing prices to exploit this new sales pitch before others follow suit?
while writing this I see that Alan has preempted my comments about 'rainy bit of France' - I will just add that my wife is busy pouring bathwater (ours not our guests) on trees even as we speak
