Sunday 16 August – A Stain on our Character
Last week’s blog stated that I was focussed on 2 tasks – hedge cutting and staining Grange. It was the latter that was the continued focus for this week and still it isn’t finished! I know it seems like it is taking an awfully long time to do something fairly simple, and to be fair…
Sunday 09 August – Same Old, Same Old!
Last week’s blog said that we had started 2 major projects which desperately needed doing. It is both of these that I have been continuing with this week – although neither are actually finished! Earlier in the week I continued with the hedging which is very nearly complete. I was fortunate in that the weather…
Sunday 2 August – Back to Work
I can’t believe that my last blog, 2 weeks ago, was written the day we completed Priory. It already seems like so long ago … Thankfully, both families who have stayed in Priory in the last 2 weeks have absolutely loved what we have done and have left us some lovely comments. The family who…
Sunday 19 July – Perfect Priory
Well we’ve made it. We are both a bit shattered but at 10 am today our first guests arrived in the newly finished, revamped, redecorated and refurbished Priory. And, while I may be a little biased, it looks amazing. In my last blog, I said that I wasn’t panicking about getting things complete on time,…
Sunday 05 July – Lounging Around
When I wrote last week’s blog I said that we had a leaky shower which needed to be resolved quickly if we were to stand any chance of getting Priory complete, and that I wasn’t panicking (at that stage) that we would be able to finish on time. Our plumber came back last Monday to…
Sunday 28 June – A Right Shower
In last week’s blog I said that I would ration the pictures of Priory so as not to spoil the surprise when everything is finished. I therefore won’t include any pictures this week so I will keep things short. In last week’s blog I also made the bold (foolish?) statement that, with the valiant efforts…
Sunday 21 June – The Longest Day
To begin, my apologies for not posting a blog for the last 2 Sundays. Not completely my fault. The first Sunday (7 June) I did decide not to write a blog as the progress we had made in Priory didn’t make for great photos. Last Sunday we were without phone and internet at home –…
Sunday 31 May – Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
Having outlined lots of reasons why Kergudon is the perfect place to come for a ‘post’ COVID-19 family holiday in last week’s blog, one thing I did not include, although should have, was weather. Today, the last day of May and still spring, the growing season, we have had less than 10mm of rain in…
Sunday 24 May – The New Normal for Holidays
This week, rather than outline what we have achieved in the last 7 days as we would normally do, we thought it would be good to outline why we think a trip to Kergudon is the perfect family holiday in the post-COVID world. I say ‘post’ COVID but, in reality, when things get back to…
