After a long absence …
We’re back! I’m sorry if you’ve missed reading our weekly blog – I like to kid myself that there is an army of readers who sit poised in great anticipation of my weekly missive! The reason for radio silence over the last 6 weeks is a combination of not being at Kergudon for a number…
Sunday 4th February – Yucca Gloriosa In Memorium
This week’s blog will be short and, hopefully, sweet as, again, I have been focussed principally on a single task – but not Grange this time. Having started the tropical bed last week when the, incredibly showery weather allowed, I wanted to continue to strip it out which totalled only another 3 days. We knew…
Sunday 28th January – Variety is the Spice of Life
Ben’s Brittany Holiday Cottages Blog 28th January 2018 Blog As I wrote last week’s blog, I was getting frustrated at the laminate flooring that we had bought to lay in the storeroom of Grange. As I mentioned, we had purposely chosen the cheapest laminate available so we weren’t expecting anything of exceptional quality – although…
Sunday 21st January – Grange Grinds On …
Remembering our desire to get Grange completed as quickly as we could in 2018, I am afraid that last week was (again) spent entirely on that goal. I had 2 things that I could progress and what I focussed on depended to a large extent on the weather which has been pretty awful – as…
Sunday 14th January – Staying in the (Tongue &) Groove
This week has been focussed on one activity (as so many weeks have been in the last few months!) which was continuing with work on Grange. In last week’s blog I stated that, all being well, I would have all of the internal cladding complete by now – and I would have done had I…
Sunday 7th January – Storming New Year
We hope you all enjoyed whatever activities it is you were doing to see in 2018 and that you have a happy, healthy and rewarding year. We saw the New Year in with friends in Quimper and had a pretty amazing light show overnight – not because of impressive fireworks but because 2018 began pretty…
Sunday 31st December – Bonne Année
Sunday 31st December – Bonne Année We hope that everyone has had a fabulous Christmas and are not too fatigued and sated for New Year celebrations today! I generally love this period between Christmas and New Year as a week when it doesn’t matter if very little gets done and, as my blog last week…
Sunday 24th December – Joyeux Noël
Sunday 24th December – Joyeux Noël My last blog seemed so long ago – and I apologise that I didn’t stick to my word and resume last Sunday but, hopefully, better late than never! In the month since my last blog we have spent a couple of weeks back in the UK doing a quick…
Sunday 26th November
As promised in last week’s blog, this week would be mainly focussing on the lambris and sharing some pictures with you. I did mention that the progress has been slow and, despite my wish to be able to focus on that and just that, we did a number of other things too. As such, the…
