As last week<\/a>, this has been another where we have been working but have minimal things to show for it.\u00a0 We managed to get some personal admin done with a haircut and visit to the dentist.\u00a0 One being considerably less painful than the other!\u00a0 I am a real dentophobe but, thankfully, not much work needed to be done so after a quick clean and polish we\u2019re done for another year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week included another of the many public holidays (jour f\u00e9ri\u00e9) so we welcomed guests into all of our g\u00eetes which included opening Stable for the first time since New Year.  This meant a day of preparation to make sure our Chambre d\u2019H\u00f4te was as beautiful this year as it was last.  A little painting inside and lots of weeding brought Stable back to its charming state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having widened the entrance and built a more attractive wall opposite Stable<\/a>, we next plan to do something with the terrace.\u00a0 As you can see, at the minute the terrace, which is made up of stone blocks is not completely level, and also not very large.\u00a0 We have big plans for the exterior of Stable, hopefully that we can realise next spring when we have worked through all the other higher priority ones!\u00a0 You can just see the new lonicera plants we planted last year at the front are starting to make a hedge.\u00a0 This will provide a little more privacy and will be larger again when we get round to the new terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a trip to Brest early in the week I did buy some appropriate brackets to erect the fence element of the new division between Granary and Priory in time for their guests to arrive.\u00a0 Sadly, I could not erect the new gate post as, when we tried to put it up we discovered a large block of concrete which was evidently the base of a previous fence in exactly the spot we wanted to use.\u00a0 You can just see it next to the hedge in these pictures.\u00a0 A(nother) job for next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00a0While working in the garages I have been distracted (a bit) giving some TLC to an item we have acquired as an interesting piece of deco in the boot room \/ laundry.\u00a0 I\u2019ll show you next week when complete and in situ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What I have managed to progress is sorting the garage bays in preparation for their clearance.\u00a0 I have managed to put up the kitchen wall cabinets we removed from Priory last spring and our utility room in the autumn, which were themselves originally in Hayloft and Granary when we arrived.\u00a0 This both clears them from the amount of \u2018stuff\u2019 that is filling the bays at present and gives me storage to sort other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have also started to construct a workbench at the end of this garage bay which will, with the one in my man shed, allow me lots of space to work. You can never have enough work benches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
