@ Danny Kibbey Hi Danny, thank you so much. I was doing quite well helping Tarah out, although a little concerned that she was not responing nor 'proofing' my efforts, and low and behold, a friend has just informed me that she has flown back to Madagasca because her Mum has been taken ill... I have a slight dilemma now..in that should there be any enquiries I will have to field them myself... I am quite aware of the exacting nature of letting in my own area, Cap D'Agde..and I am slightly concerned that assuming her Mum will be alright my friend is not up to speed on the ins and outs. Time will tell.

Hello, not sure if I have joined the right group, as I am not a Gite owner, nor is my friend Tarah, who has an apartment for rent in the Summer in Pézenas Herault. She is a very nice lady, who wants to rent out her place for the Season, in order, I believe, to take the opportunity to return to Madagasca to meet up with family. I am trying to help her out, and have set up a basic FaceBook page to get the ball rolling. Hoping it is in order to put a link here. Please advise if this is not.

I shall create a website for her when I have chance, as I have some great pics of this wonderful Historic town. I hope she has not missed the boat this time round, and sadly my Sister-in-law's family have just booked nearby. In the meantime I shall scour SFN for 'holiday lets' Groups etc.

We have no idea as to the charges, nor 'what is expected' so I shall have to do some research.

Hi Sarah...not sure what your plans are but this site may be of use? Mainly UK based, nice concept, branching out through Europe http://campinmygarden.com/

Hi Group,

Plans still on the drawing board but hope to be doing camping a la ferme next year? Anyone have any experience with this type of business?

She sells from the vineyard, Clos D'y Vigne I think it is called, I cannot put my hand on her books straight away, and she has a website.

Would love to meet her...

I believe she did everything alone...

brilliant.

Patricia Atkinsons books are a real eye-opener into just how much hard work and risk goes into wine making, and when you see what a tiny lady she is, you have to admire her immensely. She got thrown in at the deep end by her husband and made a real go of it!

Hi Babara,

We are in the middle of the Touraine wine area - Sauvignan Blanc at its best.

We take guests, love wine, run courses and even have a classroom if the study gets serious!

Happy to talk about getting involved.

I know of her...she is one of the first British ladies to make high flying press coverage. I know of the bio dunamic vineyard owned by the Feelys. An aged

Monbazilliac is heavenly.

The region is just lovely.

You can see that I love France...AND my work...want to do more and

more exciting things in the region.
