So we have returned from our brief holiday where we had a fantastic time skiing in Canada (thank you very much for asking!) Very many thanks have to go to Melissa and Tom, one of Dave\u2019s London PT clients, for their generosity on our holiday, and the real work starts at Kergudon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week we have been visited by a number of Dave\u2019s family to view the new venture and assist with a number of things. Dave\u2019s Dad helped me start the g\u00eete renovations which have got underway; Dave\u2019s Mum has been in the kitchen with Dave cooking up all sorts of treats including some delicious confiture d\u2019orange and his aunt and uncle, Chris and Clint, have assisted by identifying great routes to drive from the cottages, visit some places of interest and review where to get a decent lunch on their tours \u2013 there are many choices which we will cover in future blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While our guests have been here, and as our favourite restaurant, Au Lac, is closed for winter, we have had the opportunity to visit some new eateries. We\u2019re really pleased to report that there are many excellent choices very close to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday we went to the next village, Saint Rivoal (5 kms away), and ate at the \u2018Auberge du Menez\u2019<\/a>. Lovely food \u2013I would recommend the baked camembert and beef tagine – and lots of it. We all left very satisfied. Friday we had an evening in the Pub St. Hubert <\/a>in our village with local Britt beer and dinner and crepes cooked by Cathy who does an amazing job as landlady, chef and hostess. Fantastic fries and all superb value. Finally, on Saturday we went into Sizun (7 kms) to the restaurant \u2018L\u2019Oree des Monts\u2019 which we tried to eat in last April during our first recce but couldn\u2019t get in as it was fully booked. We can understand why \u2013 again great food (pizza being their speciality \u2013 I had \u2018Indian\u2019 which was curried \u2013 but they have many other choices) and good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 3 restaurants are very different in style but it was great that we didn\u2019t leave a single one feeling we had eaten a bad meal or that we hadn\u2019t got good value. I\u2019m enjoying this \u2018research\u2019 phase but already it seems that there is something for all of our guests in very close vicinity whatever food they are in the mood for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than many trips to the decheterie (public tip) to dispose of many of the, now empty, boxes and rubbish, during the week we treated Dave\u2019s parents to a trip to Castorama bricolage store (never let it be said we don\u2019t know how to show guests a good time!) At Castorama we bought the kitchen units and items we will have in Granary and Hayloft \u2013 we think they are perfect and can\u2019t wait to see them fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Daoulas<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today, we took them to the weekly Sunday market at Daoulas <\/a>(20 kms) to stock up on fromage and saucisson. It is an excellent market with lots of lovely produce (fruits de mer including fantastic looking crab, viande, legumes, rotisserie and many others) and, while the usual rule remains \u2013 get there early to get the best items, there were still excellent choices at a more civilised time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of plans for the week ahead \u2013 including continuing on with the refurbishment \u2013 but sadly no more willing assistants to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
