Sunday 30th April – Cutting it Fine
A short blog this week despite the last 6 days being another productive period with lots of tasks started, progressed or completed. Thankfully too the weather has broken and today we have had the first day of rain in as long as we can remember which, while not ideal for our guests, is perfect for…
Sunday 23rd April – Fête de St George
Last week’s blog stated that my focus for the week would be to rebuild the fences behind Priory and Granary which had been destroyed by Tempête Zeus last month. What it didn’t mention was that we had been joined by David’s parents that day who had come out to see us for a week and…
Sunday 16th April – Joyeuses Pâques
Sadly still no progress on Grange during the week with a poorly builder and, although there are a number of things that I can do on my own with all my focus on Grange other things don’t get done – and there are always lots of other things that need our attention. This week’s blog…
Sunday 9th April – Scorchio
Last week’s blog said that our builder had unfortunately damaged his back so we weren’t able to progress Grange but it did allow us to focus on a number of other projects that had been waiting and all of these were able to be outside as the weather has been so fantastic – 28 degrees…
Sunday 2nd April – Moregate
Last week’s blog said that, as he had put his back out, our builder wouldn’t be able to join us for the week so we wouldn’t be able to progress work on Grange. It also said that, while that was regrettable, it would allow us to progress other projects that we have wanted to start…
Sunday 26th March – Spring Forward
A relatively short blog this week and with almost no phots I’m afraid. Not because we haven’t been doing anything – we have – but because this has been a bitty sort of week when we haven’t really been able to focus on a single thing. The weather has been a bit mixed and our…
Sunday 19th March – Work Slated
Another productive week this week but has been a great mix of work and play. The weather was much better than it has been in previous weeks and allowed us to get back to work on Grange for a couple of days but I also managed to tick off a number of other tasks that…
Sunday 12th March – Zeus Alors!
As I wrote last week’s blog I spoke about hiding inside sheltering from the wind and how it had already blown down a couple of branches in the orchard and that I hoped we wouldn’t suffer any greater damage. Prophetic words … While in the UK we missed any disruption from Doris but the storm…
Sunday 5th March – The Key to a Great Holiday
As you will have seen from last week’s Facebook post, in place of a full blog, the choice for the name of the garage will be ‘Grange’ – thank you to those who joined in the selection – all bar 1 vote was for that choice (and we are delighted as it was also our…
