Off we go!

We're off to Stanstead at lunch time to fly down to Bergerac, and visit the house for the first time this year.  A mixture of "can't wait" and trepidation - will everything be OK?

I have a video camera with me, and hope to be able to get some good panning shots both inside and outside the house for both this blog and the website.  It is difficult to give an idea about how big the house is, and I think that having videos will be a good step to achieving that.

Have been checking out hits on the website using Google Analytics.  Firstly, the level of detail in the information you can get is amazing (a bit scary really!).  One good bit of news is that, certain search combinations on Google - for instance "rent a cottage near Bordeaux" - we come up very near the top of the first page.  All my efforts are paying off, and if it attracts future guests, then it will definitely be worthwhile!
