Sunday 25 September – Research Trips
First, I should probably apologise for not posting a blog last week. We had been hosting David’s uncle and aunt who had only visited Brittany once many years before we moved here despite being big fans of seafood. Since we bought Kergudon they have fallen in love with the region and we are delighted that they…
Sunday 11 September – Feeling Blue …
As I look back on the past week it seems as though I have spent all of my time painting, or if not actually applying paint, then doing the preparatory work required to do so. In last week’s blog I said that we were going to paint much of the exterior wood around Kergudon the…
Sunday 04 September – Not too Chablis a week
Sunday 04 September – Not too Chablis a week You may remember that we were very disappointed with the August weather last year as, while supposed to be the height of summer, it was a very damp and blustery month when we felt we were constantly apologising to our guests. Thankfully this year’s August ended…
Sunday 28 August – Another Week, Another Wall
At the end of last week’s blog I was about half way through clearing out my man shed and re-discovering a number of tools and items that I hadn’t seen for some time! This week I have progressed or started 4 new projects as well as had some fun time with friends. Monday saw me…
Sunday 21 August – Life’s a Beach
Despite saying that last week’s blog won’t be very long I managed to stretch it out … This week I will start with the same claim and suspect it may be more accurate – certainly there aren’t many photos! The fantastic weather we had enjoyed the previous week continued into this week and we had…
Sunday 14 August – Summertime, and the living is easy …
This week won’t be a very long blog. We have had a really lovely week and have had a good balance of work and play and enjoying the fabulous weather we have been having – and looks like will continue to have for the majority of next week. Last week we had some great friends…
Sunday 07 August – Cat’s Back …
Sunday 07 August – Cat’s Back … Thank you to David who acted as ‘guest blogger’ a couple of weeks ago. We hoped you enjoyed his first post (but not so much as to want David to write the blog every week …!) I am now back from a short trip to the UK, the…
Sunday 24th July – While the cats away…..
With beautiful blue skies and soaring temperatures the last week has been truly beautiful at Kergudon. As a result of the weather, the Lac Du Drennec has become even more attractive and we started the week with an early morning dip from the beach next to Au Lac restaurant. The water in the lake was…
Sunday 17 July – Another Sad Week for France
Firstly, I would like to say how shocked we have been with the events that took place in Nice on Thursday night. We are at a loss to explain why France seems so particularly vulnerable to extremist attacks, or so poor in monitoring extremist activity so as to prevent them occurring. Since we have moved…
