In last week’s blog I said that I would ration the pictures of Priory so as not to spoil the surprise when everything is finished.  I therefore won’t include any pictures this week so I will keep things short. In last week’s blog I also made the bold (foolish?) statement that, with the valiant efforts…

To begin, my apologies for not posting a blog for the last 2 Sundays.  Not completely my fault. The first Sunday (7 June) I did decide not to write a blog as the progress we had made in Priory didn’t make for great photos.  Last Sunday we were without phone and internet at home –…

Having outlined lots of reasons why Kergudon is the perfect place to come for a ‘post’ COVID-19 family holiday in last week’s blog, one thing I did not include, although should have, was weather.  Today, the last day of May and still spring, the growing season, we have had less than 10mm of rain in…

I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that France was beginning to come out of confinement and that we would definitely be able to make progress in Priory.  Thankfully, we have. As movement restrictions were lifted Pascal, our electrician, came at 0830 on Monday morning and has been working all week.  Worryingly, despite…

Apologies for not posting a blog last week.  Looking back at the preceding week it was another one of those ‘pottering’ type weeks when you progress a number of little things but no real major milestones. The last blog I did write was after we’d scarified the orchard and Granary lawns and I said that…

We have had much less pottering in the last 7 days than the previous week and have managed to complete one significant task, make good progress on 2 others and I even spent a couple of days back in Priory. The Priory work was, again, relatively minor and involved lots of preparation for painting in…

So, despite saying in last week’s blog that I would once again focus my attention to Priory, that hasn’t happened. We have actually had a much quieter week and I have done more ‘pottering’ than focus on any major task.  For the start of the week the weather, frustratingly, remained dry and hot, which was…
