Sunday 19th November – What Else Wood I Do?
Last week’s blog said that my focus would be continuing with the lambris in the upstairs rooms of Grange, and that there were many days’ worth of work left to complete. I was right on both counts! It did also say that the forecast was to be dry and fantastic for autumn – that also…
Sunday 12th November – Getting Crafty
Last week’s blog said that the focus for the coming days would be dependent on the weather which turned out to be very mixed and prevented anything outside. Thankfully there was plenty to be getting on with upstairs in Grange which has been the sole focus of the week. I did say that there was…
Sunday 5th November – Remember, Remember
Last week’s blog mentioned that I hadn’t had the most productive week as we were enjoying the company of our friends – thankfully this week has seen a lot more achieved. While it did say that I had completed the wood store, I said that the plan was to continue digging around Grange so that…
Sunday 29th October – The Tour is Coming
Last week’s blog ended saying that we would have some exciting news about the route of the Tour de France in 2018 … That news is that the Tour is coming to our commune and will pass through the centre of Sizun, only 7 kms from us. The route for next year’s tour was published…
Sunday 22nd October – Life of Brian
Sunday 22nd October – Life of Brian This week has been a mix of highs and lows. Geographical highs and meteorological lows to be more precise.

Sunday 15th October – Wiring done, winds to come …
I mentioned in last week’s blog that we had been enjoying the company of family visitors for the previous couple of weeks and that continued last week with David’s parents staying with us. As such, it has been a mix of social and productive with some fabulous meals enjoyed at home and in some of…
Sunday 8th October – Family Fun
I guess I need to start this week’s blog with an apology as I didn’t publish anything last week. Despite having made my New Year’s Resolution last January ‘promising’ only to skip weeks if I say so in advance, I am fairly happy that I made it to the 1st October before breaking my resolution…
Sunday 24th September – Levellers and Diggers
Having said in last week’s blog that we were feeling particularly fatigued the previous week we did pick up tasks last week with the renewed vigour that was required. This was helped by the fact that the weather improved greatly and we had a number of warm, dry, days which allowed me to cut the…
Sunday 17th September – Come on Aileen (I know – its Eileen!)
This will be a very short blog, without photos, as, to be honest, it probably hasn’t been the most productive of weeks. This has been partly due to the weather and partly as both David and I have been feeling extremely worn out. The weather has been particularly boring in terms of preventing me getting…
