Ben and Dave’s Blog

Sunday 16 October – Holidays are Coming … I know most people probably won’t want reminding of this, but we are now over half way through October and there are only a couple of months left until we are at Christmas again!  Looking online it tells me that there are only 69 days left to…

A much shorter blog this week (perhaps you will be relieved to hear!) As we have not been hosting guests this week we have been able to progress our garage project albeit slowly while we dodge in and out of the spring-like showers. At the start of the week I had only managed to dig…

First, I should probably apologise for not posting a blog last week.  We had been hosting David’s uncle and aunt who had only visited Brittany once many years before we moved here despite being big fans of seafood.  Since we bought Kergudon they have fallen in love with the region and we are delighted that they…

As I look back on the past week it seems as though I have spent all of my time painting, or if not actually applying paint, then doing the preparatory work required to do so. In last week’s blog I said that we were going to paint much of the exterior wood around Kergudon the…

Sunday 04 September – Not too Chablis a week You may remember that we were very disappointed with the August weather last year as, while supposed to be the height of summer, it was a very damp and blustery month when we felt we were constantly apologising to our guests.  Thankfully this year’s August ended…

At the end of last week’s blog I was about half way through clearing out my man shed and re-discovering a number of tools and items that I hadn’t seen for some time!  This week I have progressed or started 4 new projects as well as had some fun time with friends. Monday saw me…

Despite saying that last week’s blog won’t be very long I managed to stretch it out …  This week I will start with the same claim and suspect it may be more accurate – certainly there aren’t many photos! The fantastic weather we had enjoyed the previous week continued into this week and we had…

This week won’t be a very long blog.  We have had a really lovely week and have had a good balance of work and play and enjoying the fabulous weather we have been having – and looks like will continue to have for the majority of next week. Last week we had some great friends…

Sunday 07 August – Cat’s Back … Thank you to David who acted as ‘guest blogger’ a couple of weeks ago.  We hoped you enjoyed his first post (but not so much as to want David to write the blog every week …!) I am now back from a short trip to the UK, the…

With beautiful blue skies and soaring temperatures the last week has been truly beautiful at Kergudon. As a result of the weather, the Lac Du Drennec has become even more attractive and we started the week with an early morning dip from the beach next to Au Lac restaurant. The water in the lake was…
