Last week’s blog ended with the Sizun Grand Prix as one of the amazing activities that we have near us.  This week ends with another – Assomniak’s ‘Fête du Bourg’ in the heart of Saint Cadou.  More of that later. Generally this week has been a contrast with last week as we returned to amazingly…

Last week’s blog said that the forecast was for more ‘Breton’ weather which turned out to be, surprisingly, accurate!  This was unfortunate, not just for progress on Grange, but also for David’s uncle and aunt who had come to visit us for the week. We started off making some, slow, progress installing the first of…

As predicted in last week’s blog, practically the only activity that we have made any progress on for the last 7 days is slating the roof of Grange so this will be a very short update. We divided the responsibility between myself and our builder such that Lee got the more complicated parts at the…

Another productive week on a number of projects and, thankfully, some long outstanding tasks completed as we continue to work our way through the, ever lengthening, to-do list (I thought they were supposed to get shorter as you did things …) The task list we generated at the end of last year included a number…

A short blog this week despite the last 6 days being another productive period with lots of tasks started, progressed or completed.  Thankfully too the weather has broken and today we have had the first day of rain in as long as we can remember which, while not ideal for our guests, is perfect for…

Last week’s blog stated that my focus for the week would be to rebuild the fences behind Priory and Granary which had been destroyed by Tempête Zeus last month.  What it didn’t mention was that we had been joined by David’s parents that day who had come out to see us for a week and…

Sadly still no progress on Grange during the week with a poorly builder and, although there are a number of things that I can do on my own with all my focus on Grange other things don’t get done – and there are always lots of other things that need our attention. This week’s blog…

Last week’s blog said that our builder had unfortunately damaged his back so we weren’t able to progress Grange but it did allow us to focus on a number of other projects that had been waiting and all of these were able to be outside as the weather has been so fantastic – 28 degrees…

Last week’s blog said that, as he had put his back out, our builder wouldn’t be able to join us for the week so we wouldn’t be able to progress work on Grange.  It also said that, while that was regrettable, it would allow us to progress other projects that we have wanted to start…

A relatively short blog this week and with almost no phots I’m afraid.  Not because we haven’t been doing anything – we have – but because this has been a bitty sort of week when we haven’t really been able to focus on a single thing. The weather has been a bit mixed and our…
