Sunday 17 November – Raining champions
My last blog, 2 weeks ago, said that I was officially bored with the weather. Unfortunately that boredom has become a deep despondency as we have had no let up since – hence no blog last week and no photos this week. While we haven’t had Fishlake levels of ground water, and we feel deeply…
Sunday 03 November – Rain, rain go away!
I am now officially bored with the autumnal weather this year. Ever since we moved to Brittany in 2015, the autumns have been periods of beautifully crisp, clear, sometimes sunny days with minimal rainfall. This year it seems to be making up for the last 4 and has continued to be wet, windy and generally…
Sunday 27th October – Danshari
Last week I didn’t post a blog as the ‘Breton’ weather meant that we hadn’t made any great leaps forward. In the apology I posted on Facebook I said that the forecast for the last 7 days was ‘actually pretty good’ and so I had hoped to have a lot to update. However, the fair…
Sunday 13 October – Store-my Weather
I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that, while we had made some momentum the previous week, the weather forecast for last week was likely to stall that – and so it proved to be the case. As such, this blog won’t be terribly long … We did experience some damp autumnal weather…
Sunday 6 October – Thorny issue
I said, at the end of last week’s blog, that autumns have often proven to be productive times for us in getting things done – and that it was about time we started making progress again. Thankfully, this week we have made more progress than perhaps any previous one since the start of the summer…
Sunday 29 September – Rakish behaviour
Apologies again for not posting a blog last Sunday. Not within my control this time but a result of being cut off from the internet (again) for a few days. Looking back, it has been a period of slow progress on a number of things with a number of smaller jobs tackled and, this week…
Sunday 15 September – Curiouser and curiouser
My apologies for not posting a blog last week – you will see why shortly. I ended my last blog 2 weeks ago saying that while my Dad and his wife had arrived with us it shouldn’t prevent me progressing work specifically, clearing out the garage that I had eventually gotten around to starting. As…
Sunday 01 September – Already Autumn
I can’t believe that it is already September and so we have begun meteorological autumn today. Thankfully during our time in France, September seems to bring warm and dry weather, at least during the days, and the longer it takes for the evenings and nights to cool off the better. Having made it to September,…
Sunday 25 August – Back to Work (next week …)
I ended last week’s blog saying that there were no excuses for not clearing out the garage bays and starting to fill our serre – although I may be able to find some. Well, here they are …!! Last week was the last when we had some very good friends staying with us so we…
