Sunday 04 September – Not too Chablis a week

Battle of the Atlantic Museum

Sunday 04 September – Not too Chablis a week You may remember that we were very disappointed with the August weather last year as, while supposed to be the height of summer, it was a very damp and blustery month when we felt we were constantly apologising to our guests.  Thankfully this year’s August ended…

Sunday 28 August – Another Week, Another Wall

Rebuilding Wall 2

At the end of last week’s blog I was about half way through clearing out my man shed and re-discovering a number of tools and items that I hadn’t seen for some time!  This week I have progressed or started 4 new projects as well as had some fun time with friends. Monday saw me…

Sunday 21 August – Life’s a Beach

Dossen Day 1

Despite saying that last week’s blog won’t be very long I managed to stretch it out …  This week I will start with the same claim and suspect it may be more accurate – certainly there aren’t many photos! The fantastic weather we had enjoyed the previous week continued into this week and we had…

Sunday 17 July – Another Sad Week for France

Evening Barbie Supper - Cheers!

Firstly, I would like to say how shocked we have been with the events that took place in Nice on Thursday night.  We are at a loss to explain why France seems so particularly vulnerable to extremist attacks, or so poor in monitoring extremist activity so as to prevent them occurring.  Since we have moved…

Sunday 10 July – Slowly, Slowly

Best of Friends 2

Looking back at the last week I have to admit that it has not been as productive outside as I would have liked – although that is not entirely my fault. The first thing to say is that our Boot Room has already got good use from our clients, ourselves (our own, home, washing machine…

Sunday 03 July – Bootiful

Boot Room Conversion

In my last blog I said that it appeared we have fallen into the pattern of completing one major task a week and, if that were the case this week’s task would be the boot room which would require a few days more work to complete. I was right on at least the first statement! …

Sunday 26 June – Interesting Times …

Fence Prep

What a momentous week for all Brits but especially those of us who have chosen to live in another European country.  Two days after the momentous decision the UK has taken to leave the EU we are still trying to understand what impact it is likely to have on us. I have always avoided making…
