Sunday 1st April – Happy Easter to Yew
We have now identified the issue that prevented me adding any images to last week’s blog. It seems that we had reached our storage limit on WordPress and so couldn’t add any more pics. Having spent a day during the week doing some cleaning up and archiving we are now able to add this week’s…

Apologies that there are no photos with this blog – there seems to be a problem uploading them to WordPress (the platform I use to write the blogs). If anyone is a WordPress expert any advice would be greatly appreciated … I can barely believe that when I was writing last week’s blog it was…

I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that the weather would (again) determine what I did to a great extent which was true. Today we have seen the return of winter and, having waited until today to take pics of the garden work I have done, everything is under a few inches of…

Last week’s blog stated that, weather permitting, I would continue to work in the garden and progressing Grange. Well, while the weather was considerably warmer than the previous week, it was much much wetter. However, I did manage to alternate between the 2 tasks and progress both – although I would have been able to…

As I mentioned a couple of week’s ago I didn’t post a blog last Sunday as David and I had taken a break to travel back to the UK and join some friends for a week’s walking in the Lake District as we have done for a number of years. The week was fabulous, and…

Reasonably productive week this week, although once again jumping in and outside to avoid the many heavy showers and hail storms. The most pleasing thing was that, after almost 2 week’s effort, I finished the week’s job of rebuilding the jungle / tropical bed and we think it looks great and has incorporated the ‘sink’…

This week has seen a lot of winter-into-spring weather with periods of heavy hail storms under very dark storm clouds interspersed with some bright and warm sunshine. Last week’s blog said that the weather forecast should allow me to progress renovation of the tropical flower bed on our main driveway but, unsurprisingly, the forecast changed…

Firstly, I should probably apologise for the title! I tried to find something which summarised what we have been doing over the last week which was amusing and pithy although I suspect has ended up being more painful although, in its defence, accurate! In my recent blogs you will have seen that we have been…

We’re back! I’m sorry if you’ve missed reading our weekly blog – I like to kid myself that there is an army of readers who sit poised in great anticipation of my weekly missive! The reason for radio silence over the last 6 weeks is a combination of not being at Kergudon for a number…

This week’s blog will be short and, hopefully, sweet as, again, I have been focussed principally on a single task – but not Grange this time. Having started the tropical bed last week when the, incredibly showery weather allowed, I wanted to continue to strip it out which totalled only another 3 days. We knew…
