Sunday 02 May – Feeling Blue

I don’t often start my blogs saying that I’ve had a productive week(!) but I feel I have achieved (almost) everything I’d planned in the last 7 days.  Although this won’t be a very long blog. Last week’s blog said what my focus would be with 2 major jobs and these were what I managed…

Sunday 25 April – What a Load of Rubbish

I ended last week’s blog saying that this week would be about concreting and “some other things”.  Despite being busy most of the week I haven’t made the great leaps forward with some of the major tasks I’d wanted. Thankfully we did do THE major task, concreting the end garage bay although frustratingly we weren’t…

Sunday 18 April – What 3 Ridiculous Words

Apologies for not posting a blog last week.  While we had done a number of things none of them were really photogenic, so we didn’t take any pictures, and I thought I would combine all activities of the last 2 weeks in today’s, slightly longer, blog.  Hope you’ll stick with it! With my previous major…

Sunday 04 April – Pâques, pipes, pits & plants (& Presidential pronouncements!)

Last week’s blog ended saying that we were due to have amazing weather which would allow us to continue with outdoor work.  We have enjoyed a couple of days of fabulous sunshine and warmth which has allowed us to focus on 2 things – the garden and plants – while also enjoying some time off.…

Sunday 28 March – Magnolificence

Last week’s blog said that I had spent most of the previous 7 days rebuilding the front talus and that I needed another couple of days to complete the job.  Do you see where this might be going …?! It also showed an image of a number of new plants we had bought to add…

Sunday 21 March – Stone Ages

I didn’t post a blog last week as the previous 7 days had not been the most productive.  The blog I did post on 7th March ended with me saying that the forecast was predicting a period of stormy weather that would dictate what I managed to achieve.  As it turned out, there were a…

Sunday 07 March – Marching forward

Where did that week go?!  Time seems to take on an odd form at Kergudon.  Guests often comment on how time passes at a slow, leisurely pace when they are relaxing and enjoying there time here.  For us, we seem to already be hurtling through the year and the weeks are passing quicker and quicker!…

Sunday 28 February – Spring has Sprung

Since last week’s blog the focus has been on continuing the garage clearout and preparing gîtes for guests. We continue to be encouraged by the number of guests who are joining us for a spring getaway as last week Priory and Hayloft were occupied and they remain so for another week with Granary having guests…
