Sunday 27 January – Moving Inside
This week is going to be the first of, what I hope won’t be very many, blogs of 2019 that begins with my ‘wasn’t a very productive week’ statement! My principal effort has been the man shed which is now completed externally and so is completely watertight. This has proven useful as the last week…

As my last blog, the last 7 days have principally been focussed on progressing the new man shed and getting it as close to completion as I can and, externally at least, I’m not far off. By last Sunday I had managed to complete the cladding on 2 sides. Now, all of the exterior cladding…

You may recall that when I summarised all of the projects we had completed in 2018 in the last blog of the year, I mentioned that many of my missives began by saying that we hadn’t had a very productive week. I am pleased to say that 2019 has started in the opposite vein and…

Following your comments last week about how my blog looked on mobile devices following the update to WordPress. I have completed it in a different way which has hopefully resolved the problem so that it can all be read. Happy New Year to you all. We hope you have recovered from whatever festivities you enjoyed…

Before I start please be aware that WordPress has updated itself so how I post the blog has changed and it may not look like it usually does! I will see if I can master it but I suspect (hope) it / I will improve in coming weeks! We hope that everyone has had a…

I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that our principle activity would be to prepare Kergudon and the gîtes for our guests who have chosen to spend their Christmas here in Brittany (means they didn’t have to risk the Gatwick chaos!) This year is the first that we have guests staying with us in…

We’re back! I mentioned in my last blog on 25th November that there would be a gap of a couple of weeks. I would love to say that since that blog I had been working away madly and the man shed is now complete, the gravel pile all spread and the garage bays emptied. I…

The last week has been focussed on a single task – progressing the man shed build. As such this blog will be very short. I am pleased to say that I have made some good progress, which I am very pleased with, and with the frame now being complete, the footprint of the shed, as…

Last week’s blog said that we were due to have some good weather which would allow me to progress the man-shed. Thankfully that has proven to be accurate and I have managed to put in a few days continuing the man-shed build. Sadly, I wasn’t able to work on the shed every day, although would…

Today has been a beautiful day outside. It is very different from the very mixed weather of the last 7 days and absolutely perfect for Armistice Day and this significant centenary. Watching the pictures from the Cenotaph in London it appeared to be the same bright, crisp, optimistic autumn day as here. David and I…
