Sunday 02 June – Strong and Stable
Firstly, my apologies for not posting a blog last week – and not saying that I wouldn’t. Also, don’t get excited with the main picture – we haven’t got a new puppy! Why, later. I had intended to post something but it would have been fairly short, without many images and run along the lines…
Sunday 19 May – Box and Bar
Last week’s blog said that I anticipated a productive week and I think I am happy with what I achieved. I am certainly happy with the outcome of the jobs. With the weather having been pretty good for most of the week, dry at least if not as warm as we’d like, we have managed…
Sunday 12 May – Totally Bucked
Last week’s blog said that my efforts would depend on two things – the weather, and the decision we make regarding my duff chainsaw. In the end we did as we thought we might, in that we have opted to buy the same, cheaper, brand of chainsaw rather than fork out a much larger sum…
Sunday 05 May – Chain stopped play
Having said goodbye to Dave’s parents on Wednesday another week has flown past. This week has been at least a little more productive than last as I haven’t been hampered with a cold, and I have done lots of smaller, but worthwhile, tasks including continuing to clear the garage bays – slow progress! In…
Sunday 28 April – Cold – er
I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that David’s parents were to arrive with us on Easter Monday. This they did bringing lots of gifts and things that we wanted (items we had ordered from the UK, such as new forks, which they kindly take delivery of, store and deliver during their visits)…
Sunday 21 April – Chickened Out
Happy Easter. We hope that you are enjoying the long Easter weekend especially with such fabulous weather. Today we have rewarded ourselves with a day off and enjoyed a cheeky drink on the terrace of Au Lac overlooking the Lac du Drennec in 20+ degree heat but we have had a productive week. A couple…
Sunday 14 April – And then there was light …
Last week’s blog spoke about a weather-affected ‘bitty’ week of jobs with a lot of weeding having been done. This week has been very similar. It ended saying that some of the gardening, principally continuing to clear the old chicken run, was dependent on finding a new fork that I liked. I have – inevitably…
Sunday 07 April – Springing into new life
At the end of last week’s blog I said that I would update something major in Garratt’s life and not his weird, and you’d have thought very uncomfortable, choice of seating position in an old stone sink outside my new man shed! Two and a half years ago while at the annual Horse Fair in…
Sunday 31 March – March-BQ
Apologies again for not posting a blog last week. I was recovering from a particularly nasty stomach bug which laid me low for a number of days and meant I was unable to make any significant progress for the best part of a week. Thankfully, that week the weather was pretty damp and unpleasant so…
