Hent Gorreker talus cleared

Sunday 12 September – Tan-talus

As predicted in my last blog 2 weeks ago, I didn’t write anything last Sunday as I have been focussed on the same activity for 3 weeks – hedge cutting.  I have made some good progress but have still not finished the job. This is partly because we have had a number of days when…

Privet hedge infront of Hayloft cut - not yet done the lonicera across the drive!

Sunday 29 August – Privet Dancer

Last week’s blog said that my focus for the last 7 days would be hedge cutting – if the weather stayed fine and it didn’t disturb our guests.  Thankfully, for the most part, that is what I have been able to do so this won’t be a very long blog. The week’s weather has been…

Garage doors fitted and garage building work complete

Sunday 22 August – Fitness Sweeeeet

It was not my intention to have another 2-week gap between blogs and I wanted to show you the result of my efforts in David’s gym last Sunday.  Sadly, our internet connection, which had proven a little more reliable recently (that’s given it the kiss of death), chose to break last Sunday afternoon and we…

Garage almost complete ...

Sunday 08 August – Hitting the Gym

Last week has been focussed on 2 projects so this won’t be too long a blog. Last week’s blog said that my focus would be giving Dave’s gym some TLC before he has a new personal training client start.  I said that I hoped to be able to complete it ‘within a week’.  Perhaps, I…

Central garage bays being 'cleared'

Sunday 01 August – Door-dling Progress

It has now been 5 weeks since I actually provided any sort of update on the work we have been doing to progress our many projects.  Last week’s blog was principally explaining why I hadn’t blogged for a month (having too much fun) but did say that I would update today. Getting my excuses in…

Sunday 25 July – We’re Still Here!

What is that expression regarding having good intentions ….?? I started my last blog, way back on 27th June, saying that it wasn’t my intention to get into the habit of blogging every 2 weeks and that I will try and do so weekly again.  In my defence, it hasn’t been 2 weeks – but…

Sunday 27 June – Not the Snore de France and other sport

Having begun my last blog 2 week’s ago saying that it was never my intention to blog fortnightly, another 2 weeks has passed!  I promise this is not a routine I meant to get into and I will endeavour to write weekly again going forward. That of course is dependent on having lots to share…

Jardins de Guidelou

Sunday 13 June – The Repair Shop

It was never my intention to only blog fortnightly although it has fallen that way in the last month or so. The previous reason was that I had perhaps not made so much progress, this time it was more that, as confinement is being eased, last Sunday we had a large social event to remind…

New garage workbench

Sunday 30 May – Make and Mend

Apologies for not posting a blog last week.  A combination of factors, including we (I) probably hadn’t done so much to publicise or making a blog worthwhile to write.  You’ll have to be the judges if this week warrants one either! On the positive side, after a month when you could have been forgiven for…
