Last week’s blog ended saying that we would have some exciting news about the route of the Tour de France in 2018 … That news is that the Tour is coming to our commune and will pass through the centre of Sizun, only 7 kms from us. The route for next year’s tour was published…

Sunday 22nd October – Life of Brian This week has been a mix of highs and lows.  Geographical highs and meteorological lows to be more precise.  I titled last week’s blog ‘Wiring done, winds to come’ as ex-hurricane Ophelia was forecast to create strong winds near us.  Thankfully, other than some slightly windier conditions, Ophelia…

I mentioned in last week’s blog that we had been enjoying the company of family visitors for the previous couple of weeks and that continued last week with David’s parents staying with us.  As such, it has been a mix of social and productive with some fabulous meals enjoyed at home and in some of…

I guess I need to start this week’s blog with an apology as I didn’t publish anything last week.  Despite having made my New Year’s Resolution last January ‘promising’ only to skip weeks if I say so in advance, I am fairly happy that I made it to the 1st October before breaking my resolution…

Last week’s blog said that again I had 2 tasks to progress and what I did depended to a large degree on the weather.  It also stated that with the arrival of September and autumn we saw the arrival of damp and drizzly conditions.  Sadly these continued for most of last week meaning I focussed…

I can barely believe that it is the start of September already and so the start of meteorological autumn, and almost overnight the weather has turned suitably autumnal.  I like this time of the year possibly the most as it can create some lovely views with the early morning mists covering the hills and the…

In last week’s blog I listed a number of tasks that I hoped to progress during the week but did say that our good friends were remaining with us and that not everything was likely to get done.  I was right – and you can probably guess which of those didn’t get completed! I did…

As suspected I did not post a blog last week as we were entertaining, and being entertained, by some very good friends who had arrived for a fortnight’s holiday with us – their third year.  As a result the last week has perhaps been a little lighter with work than would normally be, and it…
