Sunday 08 July – Store, Moore, Tour
Last week’s blog picked up on my comment of the previous week, that we need to take more time off and enjoy the experience of being in France, and the weather when that allows. While we didn’t do that last week, looking back, I am afraid that I can probably say that I have achieved…
Sunday 01 July – Drought or Deluge
Last week’s blog ended with a statement that we generally needed to take more time to relax. It also started saying how amazing the weather had been – and looked like it would continue to be. Thankfully, at least for the start of the week, the forecast was correct and the incredibly hot weather continued. …
Sunday 24 June – Boule Gites
I finished last week’s blog hoping that this week would be more productive than the preceding couple. Thankfully it was. The first thing to say is that the weather has been amazing – and looks as though it will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Summer has arrived! I also said that, if…
Sunday 17 June – Little by Very Little …
Firstly, my apologies for not posting a blog last week. Secondly, additional apologies as this blog is likely to be pretty short as well! The reason for both is that the last 2 weeks have not seen as much progress as previous weeks, and not on things that make for good photos, and last Sunday…
Sunday 03 June – Rubbish!
The title of this week’s blog was chosen for a number of reasons. One is that, as I mentioned at the end of the last blog, the weather has now broken from the fantastic period of sunshine and blue skies that we had been enjoying. In fact, the forecast has been very variable all week…
Sunday 27th May – KergOdeon
Despite saying in my last blog that this week’s major task would be to start clearing the old car park to create the new petanque pitch, I haven’t yet made a start on it! Having focussed previously on completing the wall alongside the man shed, this week meant that I had to focus on other…
Sunday 20th May – Rock Solid
As last week, we feel like we are making really good progress on a number of tasks and charging (relatively!) through the list of jobs to do and are ticking them off. This has been helped in no small part by the AMAZING weather we have enjoyed for the last 3 weeks which, as long…
Sunday 13th May – Let the Games Commence
Looking back on last week it has been busy, both in terms of guests in the gîtes and work, and we have benefitted from (whisper it quietly) decent spring weather. Even David made the comment today that this spring has been one when we have been able to tick off a number of projects. I…
Sunday 06 May – Complet
Work at the start of the week was focussed on starting to prepare all of our gîtes to accept guests yesterday. On Monday this meant I needed to clear the parking space in front of Stable. Having chopped down the trees on the north end of the orchard bed a few weeks ago, we had…
