Ben and Dave’s Blog

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…

In my last blog I said that it appeared we have fallen into the pattern of completing one major task a week and, if that were the case this week’s task would be the boot room which would require a few days more work to complete. I was right on at least the first statement! …

What a momentous week for all Brits but especially those of us who have chosen to live in another European country.  Two days after the momentous decision the UK has taken to leave the EU we are still trying to understand what impact it is likely to have on us. I have always avoided making…

Sunday 19 June – Summer? That will teach me to write in last week’s blog that the hot and sunny weather has made cutting the new flower bed more difficult as, almost ever since the blog was published it has been raining and very un-June-like weather. Of the three tasks I had listed that I…

As predicted I wasn’t able to post a blog last week as it was just such an exciting (and busy) day but we have had a very busy, productive (and expensive!) couple of weeks. At the start of the first week we decided to honour the UK public holiday, and enjoy the amazingly hot weather,…
