Feeling guilty, for those of you that are following our progress, I apologise for not keeping you up to date!
We have been busy with yet more guests and I am so pleased that our business has gone well in this our first year. I must thank Nick for all his hard work in making the gite so fantastic and all his hard work has paid off. All who see the Maison Du Soleil think it is georgious.
Nick has lost so much weight in the process that some of the family and friends that have visited hardly recognise him!
I must admit I am getting twitchy about bookings for next year now as our last guests for this year come next week and then it is all quiet. Lets hope that the tweeting, blogging and the marketing activities I have been doing over the past few months pay off, if not, we are sunk!
I know I must be positive and all the comments we have had from our guests in this our first year have been so good but as the bookings calendar looks a bit bare at the moment I suppose it is normal to panic a bit and I am sure that most people have not even started thinking about next years holiday yet!
Currently we have an American child here with us from Denver Colorado on a school exchange, things seem to be going well, but he is so quiet it is hard to really be sure he is happy. Being his first time away from home it is understandable that he is a bit homesick but lets hope he comes out of his shell a bit over the next 10 days or so.
I am sure everyone in your position feels the same at this time of year. But really, who is thinking about holidays for 2011 at this point? I was interested in your gite and wanted to have a look but you don't appear to have a link on your blog!!!! Get one on here ASAP. :)
ReplyDeleteHang on in there. Speaking to our neighbours who have gites booking can be slow.
