<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The other outstanding item for Granary was some window shutters.\u00a0 When we arrived there were all the fittings on the downstairs windows to have exterior shutters but there were no shutters \u2013 so we had some made quite early on.<\/p>\n However, having had them made, they required painting and putting up which, as the curtains, never quite got to the top of our \u2018to-do\u2019 list.\u00a0 What have we been doing all this time??\u00a0 We have wanted to do this for a longer time as we have needed to update the photo of Granary on our website for some time however, to make sure that we get the best picture we wanted to make sure that everything was done including all the hedges being cut.\u00a0 Again, we managed to achieve all of that last week so we will be able to update our picture next week when the sun is shining \u2013 for now this picture will do and you can compare with what is still on the website with the old yellow door!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our builder was also with us for 3 days during the week when, as opposed to continuing with the Grange roof, we asked him to continue with the dwarf walls behind Priory so that I can rebuild the fences in a couple of weeks.\u00a0 The first thing we asked him to do was render the walls \u2013 something that I have never done and thought it best to leave it to someone more experienced \u2013as asking him to build them in the first place, it was the right decision. \u00a0Only need painting and the fence building now …<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thankfully, we did manage to move back to Grange and finished the volige on the back (I know I said we had in last week\u2019s blog<\/a> but we still had the ladder gaps to fill) and we managed to chalk it so we will definitely be able to get slate on the back tomorrow \u2013 especially after Dave and I lifted half of the 4.5 tonnes of slate tiles, just short of 3500 tiles, onto the scaffolding today!\u00a0 That should be most of the activity for the coming week.<\/p>\n This week we have also welcomed a father and son, who have been fishing with Philippe Dolivet over the weekend, who have been our first guests on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis which has meant David has been working hard to create some of his amazing meals \u2013 and has been serving some amazing dishes.<\/p>\n I mentioned in last week\u2019s blog about the F\u00eate du Bourg which is taking place in Saint Cadou in 27 \/ 28 May and this week we received the commune\u2019s bulletin which has the dates of other activities taking place which would be other great reasons to take a trip to us – if the reference we have received in The Telegraph<\/a> isn’t enough to entice you. \u00a0Honestly, the journalist we hosted in February has written an article for The Telegraph’s travel section under the title ’13 Reasons why Brittany is better than Cornwall’. \u00a0We couldn’t possibly comment on the sentiment!<\/p>\n On 20 \/ 21 May is the biennial Grand Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe in Sizun which is a celebration of classic motoring \u2013 a sort of Sizun version of Goodwood\u2019s Revival Festival \u2013 we think!\u00a0 The last, held in 2015, was when we were in the middle of refurbishment so were not able to attend so we have not seen it, however we understand that it is a great event and we will certainly plan to attend this year.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
