Apologies that there are no photos with this blog \u2013 there seems to be a problem uploading them to WordPress (the platform I use to write the blogs).\u00a0 If anyone is a WordPress expert any advice would be greatly appreciated \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

I can barely believe that when I was writing last week\u2019s blog<\/a> it was snowing heavily and last Monday we had 15 \u2013 20 centimetres\u00a0 of snow on the ground.\u00a0 Thankfully, by Tuesday it had pretty much all melted away although that only added to the saturated ground!<\/span><\/p>\n

Owing to the snow, I worked inside Grange on Monday and made a start at clearing out what will become the games room although I didn\u2019t make much progress.\u00a0 In fact that was the pattern of the week and, while I there wasn\u2019t any day when I wasn\u2019t working on something, there haven\u2019t been any major milestones met but a lot of \u2018bitty\u2019 things completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of those bitty things included finishing off the cladding inside 3 of the garage parking bays.\u00a0 Where I had started the internal walls previously I hadn\u2019t completed them until the ceilings were done.\u00a0 Having finished those a couple of weeks ago, I was able to finish the internal walls until I ran out of volige planks.\u00a0 Unfortunately I couldn\u2019t finish the entire job as having visited the DIY store on Thursday there were no planks available so it will have to roll over to another week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was able to spend a bit of time outside and cleared all of the wood I had recently cut but which I had to leave on the lawn as it had been too wet to clear it away.\u00a0 We managed to cut down another couple of trees on the boundary with our neighbours and I have planted the third of our 3 cherry trees that we had bought.\u00a0 Having felled a poorly apple tree a couple of weeks ago, yesterday we replaced it with a ginkgo biloba which we had acquired in 2015.\u00a0 Since then it had been sat in a pot never looked very happy. Hopefully it will like its new permanent home and thrive \u2013 if we ever get the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday we were delighted that the Auberge \u00a0du Menez<\/a> reopened for the season with a new owner and chef, Yann Le Grand.\u00a0 We were very lucky to get a reservation for Yann\u2019s opening night all in the name of research of course(!) and while Yann is the third chef at the Auberge since we arrived, based on our experience on Friday he has more than maintained the quality of the restaurant (in fact it\u2019s even better than last year).\u00a0 We wish him well and hope he has great success \u2013 we will certainly be going again and can confidently recommend him to our guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always useful to attend these local events as it gives us some useful information for other things that are going on in the area.\u00a0 We learned that the Leclerc Foundation which housed a Picasso exhibition last year is hosting a Henry Moore exhibition between 10 June and 04 November this year.\u00a0 For fans of sculpture and Henry Moore this would be an excellent opportunity to view more than 100 of his sculptures and 80 drawings in an uncrowded environment.\u00a0 Kergudon would make an excellent base for your visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

As ever work next week is very weather (and volige availability!) dependent but with the clocksgoing forward last night at least the evenings are now light until 9pm!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
