As last week\u2019s blog<\/a>, this week has been dominated by one thing \u2013 progress on Grange.\u00a0 I said that I felt we were within touching distance of finishing and I definitely feel that is the case now as the sawmill, previously on the critical path for completion, received their tool bit and we were able to collect the wood.<\/p>\n

This has allowed Lee to start the stair case which will allow access to the first floor \u2013 always handy(!) \u2013 and to construct the door surrounds for the garage bays which will be enclosed .\u00a0 I had hoped to have all of the scaffolding down by now to reveal Grange in all its glory but, despite having got all of the guttering up (not the downpipes yet) we have not yet removed all the scaffold.\u00a0 We can however see what the building will look like with what we have removed \u2013 amazing \u2013 and the rest will be down in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

We are also experiencing some absolutely amazing weather at the minute \u2013 2017 is definitely going to be record breaking in terms of lack of rain and high temperatures \u2013 which is fantastic for our guests but difficult for 2 hairy energetic spaniels who don\u2019t know when to calm down, especially when our guests also have playmates that Garratt and Brandon can have fun with as they did last week and this!\u00a0 It is also proving challenging keeping all of our new plants alive (not something we have a great track record with but we have now got some of the Kermese plants in the ground at least) but we are using our 250 metres of hose to water from the village lavoir \u2013 at least when there aren\u2019t cars or RVs parked on the pipe!<\/p>\n

It has allowed us however to justify a lazy afternoon today on the shores of Lac du Drennec where we took a picnic and soaked up the sun while the dogs could be as energetic as they liked and still remain cool by swimming in the lovely warm water.\u00a0 While dogs are not allowed to swim from the beaches of Drennec e have found a fantastic sheltered spot where we can picnic and swim (us and the dogs) undisturbed \u2013 which we\u2019ll let you know about if you visit.<\/p>\n

As a bit of an aside, some of our current guests who arrived yesterday strengthen the adage of \u2018six degrees of separation\u2019.\u00a0 We learned while chatting with them, that they live in a well-known town on the north coast of Cornwall where we have some very good friends who are the parents of someone I had the honour of being best man to when they got married.\u00a0 Turns out, that our guests are also good friends with our friends but the link wasn\u2019t the reason they chose to stay with us.\u00a0 It\u2019s a small world!<\/p>\n

Finally, sadly, we did miss Commana\u2019s F\u00eate de la Musique last night \u2013 next year \u2026 – but we won\u2019t miss Saint Cadou\u2019s Tantad and Fest Noz next week \u2013 this is an amazing village!<\/p>\n

Salut.<\/p>\n
