Sunday 07 March – Marching forward

Where did that week go?!  Time seems to take on an odd form at Kergudon.  Guests often comment on how time passes at a slow, leisurely pace when they are relaxing and enjoying there time here.  For us, we seem to already be hurtling through the year and the weeks are passing quicker and quicker!…

Sunday 28 February – Spring has Sprung

Since last week’s blog the focus has been on continuing the garage clearout and preparing gîtes for guests. We continue to be encouraged by the number of guests who are joining us for a spring getaway as last week Priory and Hayloft were occupied and they remain so for another week with Granary having guests…

Sunday 07 February – Next of Kin – dling

Last week’s blog said that I had been spending hours splitting the vast amounts of waste wood that have been accumulating in our garage bays as a result of all of our projects.  This had the advantage of clearing the garage while keeping me dry and not churning up the lawn too much transporting the…

Sunday 31st January – Kindling in the rain, just kindling in the rain

For the last week both I, and the weather, have been predominantly doing one thing.  For me it has been to continue clearing the garage bays.  For the weather it is raining, almost constantly. There had been a few wet weeks prior to Christmas when we felt that there was more standing water on the…

Garage central bays have become a bit of a dumping ground

Sunday 24 January – Chaos, Clutter, Clear and Clean

Last week’s blog said that after a slow start to the year we planned to kick back into action with our extensive work list this week.  And we have. The first tasks have been to do some of the essential things required before we can actually move onto the projects themselves and that is sorting…

Sunday 17 January – Notivation

Last week’s blog said that we (I) had made a slow start to 2021 and hadn’t made much (any) progress on our long list of projects and things to do.  This week I have progressed … none. Again. Unlike previous years there is no major task to be progressed immediately.  Last year we had the…

Sunday 10 January – Slow Start

Looking back over the last week I have to admit that we’re making a slow start to 2021.  That is perhaps not ideal when we have a long list of projects to accomplish and things we want to progress.  I haven’t spoken about my ‘To Do’ list for some time but, rest assured it continues…

Sunday 03 January 2021 – That Was the Year That Was

Well, that was quite a year. My last blogs of the year, or sometimes the first, have been a summary of the major things we have achieved in the previous 12 months.  I do this more to remind Dave and I of what we have done but hope they are of interest to others.  I…
