<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWe have also had all of the kitchen items delivered in preparation for installing in Granary and Hayloft – doesn’t look too much for 2 whole kitchens, even though they sent a lorry with crane(!) but looking forward to seeing it all in situ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have welcomed 2 great friends from London who have come partly to see the new venture \u2013 but principally to watch the Six Nations Super Saturday with us as to maintain our tradition of hosting on the final day of the Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAs keen walkers, their visit has allowed us to explore new walking routes from the house (as well as some old favourites) and the fantastic geological features in the Huelgoat forest 15 minutes from Kergudon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, after a very anti-climatic partial eclipse on Friday which was only visible for 2, brief, gaps in the cloud, the most important event was the conclusion of this year\u2019s Six Nations Rugby tournament. Having settled into Kergudon with fabulous food and a raging log fire for an uninterrupted 7 hours of rugby coverage, we had a deputation come to the house and \u2018summon\u2019 us to the St. Hubert pub as the token English to join the French watching the coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who aren\u2019t into rugby, the final Saturday of the tournament stages three matches with all teams playing. Depending on the results of the preceding weeks\u2019 matches there may be more than one team with a chance of winning the title \u2013 as it was this year when 4 of the 6 teams could mathematically have won. In brief \u2013 this Super Saturday was record breaking in a number of ways and the most amazing series of matches imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England had a chance of winning the tournament right up to the final minute of the match when they won a penalty \u2013 and the French broadcasters chose to cut away to commercials \u2013 aaaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!! At that point the previously friendly banter between us and the French viewers could have soured with our view of French sports coverage but thankfully they agreed with us and we resolved to have BBC coverage next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our friends returned to London this morning (hence the late blog post) but they had travelled to us by train via Eurotunnel, Paris Metro and TGV which made a simple journey from St. Pancras to Landivisiau. They found it a relaxed and civilised way of travelling with a bottle of wine and, if you book the appropriate trains, the opportunity to stop for lunch in Paris inbound and \/ or outbound \u2013 perfect. The tickets, booked 3 months in advance online (www.uk.voyages-sncf.com<\/a>), cost less than a return from London to Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
