South Brittany Holiday Cottage

We collected the rest of the apples yesterday. We havent got so many this year, as you have a good crop every other year. We had trees this year that produced fruit that never last year. We have around a trailer full of apples collected on to a sheet of polythene which we need to get pressed into juice. Last year we had around 5 times as many apples, so we are not looking forward to next years collecting! (Another big crop).

Ryanair recently announced new routes flying from Nottingham East Midlands airport, UK, and from London Stansted to Dinard and Nantes. This is good news for us as our cottage is only 45 mins from Nantes airport.

We have a guestbook on our website so after our guests have stayed in our cottage they can leave any comments they have in the guestbook. But unfortunately we have been bombarded with silly messages from timewasters that are hoping to get a backwards link to there website! No chance! Who would want to help these low life out? I have played around with the php code so that no one can leave their URL in the guestbook. But the thick fools still leave these week messages often in a poor excuse for English on my site, which if I wanted to leave there would actually help my site out, as google counts each entry as a page, which will make my site bigger with more links to my homepage which is what google likes. But I dont want them to leave them there as it is not what I placed it on my site for. It is a shame that there is this lowlife out there that has to spoil everything honest people try and do.

We have had to remove the contact form from our contact us page of our South Brittany Cottage website due to people trying to hijack the form to send spam, so I thought it would be better if I removed it altogether and we have now gone back to just email address to contact us.

I have to say a big thank you to Brian and Wayne that stayed in our cottage last week.We noticed that a drain was blocked and we thought that after the summer of being let, it was probably grease blocking it. So we set about rodding it to clear the blockage, and then pouring drain cleaner down.And all was fine for 3 days! So I tried rodding again, and after failing to clear it I then started to dig an exploritry hole to see if I could see the bend in the pipe where I thought the blockage was. Then Brian and Wayne, who were staying in the cottage, came out and started to help and we ended up digging up a flower bed uncovering a lot of the offending pipe and found it was tree roots that had got into the pipe where the bends were. So with the help of Brian and Wayne I ended up resleeving the pipe with a flexi - pipe the complete length of the original drain. So once again a big thank you to Brian, Wayne and also to Sarah and Sharon for the moral support and letting the chaps help.
