Monday 21 March – Back, But Not Been Away

Holiday Cottage in Brittany with local culture Bal des Mutantes

Another apology required as it has been two weeks (and a day if you’re counting) since I posted my last blog.  Sorry.  The reasons for this are that, while we have been working, we have also been entertaining, and sadly both David and I have succumbed to a nasty virus that has knocked us out…

Sunday 6 March – Wet, Wet, Wet Firstly, I have had some complaints from my loyal reader that I didn’t publish a blog last week.  Please accept my apologies.  There are a couple of reasons for this.  Principally, we came home a little late from birthday drinks with some new friends in Commana, but also,…

Sunday 21 February – Laurel & Hard-dig

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…

Happy Valentine’s Day.  We hope you have had a relaxing and romantic day and have been spoilt / are spoiling your loved one.

Burns Night Table

The end of another week and, while I said I only had the perception we hadn’t achieved as much as we would have liked in last week’s blog, this week I can say it with absolute confidence!  While the title of the blog may also suggest that we have been physically active even that isn’t…

Sunday 24 January – Progress

Four Poster

Last week I was able to report that we had enjoyed a productive week and managed to tick a number of tasks off of our incredibly long ‘to do’ list. This week we have continued to make progress and achieved some good results as well but I get to the end thinking, probably unfairly, that…

Sunday 10 January – into the swing of 2016!

Garratt 3

We hope you have settled into the routines of 2016 and suspect that Christmas and New Year festivities seem a long time ago!! We have had a relatively quiet week as the poor weather has prevented us making any progress on the garden work although we were able to take down all the Christmas decorations…

BDG on Huelgoat Bridge

Happy New Year. David and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous New Year wherever you were and whatever you did.  We especially hope that you haven’t been impacted by the terrible weather and flooding that has occurred in the UK. This was our first year in France and Kergudon, and the…
