Sunday 29 April – Bit by Bit
We have just enjoyed another decent week weather-wise, although considerably cooler than earlier in the month. It has meant that another week has passed when I have not continued with the floor in the games room! However, we fully intend to have the games room available for the main season so it will be completed.…
Sunday 22 April – Meteo Madness
Who said Mother Nature doesn’t have a sense of humour? Having planted so many of our new yews in the last couple of weeks, this week has been the first of the year when we have had absolutely no rain! In fact, for at least 4 days the temperatures have been soaring into the upper…
Sunday 15 April – Déja Yew
There is a risk that this week’s blog could sound very similar (exactly the same!) as last week’s, as, again, my focus has been the 2 tasks of continuing the Games Room floor in Grange and planting our yew hedging. To make sure it doesn’t, I will add a calendar of events coming up in…
Sunday 8th April – Hedging: Yew Got It!
This week has been focussed on 2 activities – when we have been working – progressing the floor in Grange’s games room and planting the yews that I showed in last week’s blog. I say when we have been working as the week started slowly being Easter Monday and the Marché sur l’eau. However, before…
Sunday 1st April – Happy Easter to Yew

Sunday 25th March – (Still) Waiting for Spring
Apologies that there are no photos with this blog – there seems to be a problem uploading them to WordPress (the platform I use to write the blogs). If anyone is a WordPress expert any advice would be greatly appreciated … I can barely believe that when I was writing last week’s blog it was…
Sunday 18th March – I’m Dreaming of a White Easter …
I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that the weather would (again) determine what I did to a great extent which was true. Today we have seen the return of winter and, having waited until today to take pics of the garden work I have done, everything is under a few inches of…
Sunday 11 March – Avoiding the Showers
Last week’s blog stated that, weather permitting, I would continue to work in the garden and progressing Grange. Well, while the weather was considerably warmer than the previous week, it was much much wetter. However, I did manage to alternate between the 2 tasks and progress both – although I would have been able to…
