Sunday 21st June

Following our gentler week I spoke about in last week’s blog we have started to ramp up the pace again and turn our attention to completing Granary gîte.

Sunday 14th June

As you will recall, we rewarded ourselves with a few days off having completed the refurbishment of Priory last Friday.

Sunday 26th April

Sunday 26th April Happy Sunday all. Sadly, the amazing weather we have enjoyed for the last couple of weeks has finally broken and it has been damp and showery for the last couple of days. While not as appealing for BBQ’ing it will be great for the garden.   It is amazing how quickly things grow…
