The summer is over

Well, things have slowed down now for the winter season and poor Hannah can have a bit of a rest for a while! Hannah now looks after our apartments and ensures they are clean and ready for arrivals, she also meets our guests when they arrive at the apartment, shows them round and hands over the keys. Together with Becs doing airport transfers for us we think they are doing a fantastic job and we have had some lovely reviews from happy guests - which is what it's all about.

We already have bookings for next summer - including one that came directly from a recommendation from a friend of theirs who stayed in one of our apartments this summer, its great to have people booked in who have stayed with us before - a huge compliment to have people back again, we have had a few of those so far.

Back here in rainy England I have started my French lessons at night school and, I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying them and looking forward to our next visit to Cannes so I can try out my new (if limited) language skills!

The fence saga continues ... last week they finally agreed that we can replace the wooden fence around apartment Leon's terrace with a new wrought iron one. The only snag is we have to delay the installation until the Assemble Generale next June when they will "rubber stamp" the application at the annual residents meeting. Oh dear the cogs grind so slowly in France it is very frustrating - especially as the fence is already made and paid for and sat in a workshop waiting for the go-ahead.

As you will see I have finally sorted out the problems uploading alterations to our website so all the new Leon bedroom photographs are online now and the information about apartment Louie having the new air conditioning installed in the bedroom.
