With the two day fun break well and truly over it was back to work today with guests in and out.
Breakfasts were delivered at 9 and guests left by 10.30 and bless them all, they left the place looking immaculate which meant that the cleaning bit was a doddle and both suites were sorted and ready by 12.30 just in time for the first airport pick-up.
All the incoming flights today were delayed so there was a lot of hanging around waiting and it wasn't until gone 3.30 that I finally managed some lunch. The delays had shortened my timings for the afternoon too so no time for the 40 winks I'd planned - boo.
The highlight of the day was a drive through visit by Rosa and David and family, who were on their way from the wedding, that Anna and Aib avoided at the chateau at the weekend, to Provence for a week's holiday of their own - Carcassonne is on the way and we hadn't seen each other since they visited last year so it was great to catch up, even if it was just for 45 minutes.
Canapés and cocktails with the new guests this evening and that's it for another day. I'm done in so I'm off to bed.

Some may say I have the best of both worlds - bouts of big city sophistication interspersed with rural laid-back charm in a foreign country - they'd be right.
