Sunday 10 July – Slowly, Slowly
Looking back at the last week I have to admit that it has not been as productive outside as I would have liked – although that is not entirely my fault. The first thing to say is that our Boot Room has already got good use from our clients, ourselves (our own, home, washing machine…
Sunday 03 July – Bootiful
In my last blog I said that it appeared we have fallen into the pattern of completing one major task a week and, if that were the case this week’s task would be the boot room which would require a few days more work to complete. I was right on at least the first statement! …
Sunday 26 June – Interesting Times …
What a momentous week for all Brits but especially those of us who have chosen to live in another European country. Two days after the momentous decision the UK has taken to leave the EU we are still trying to understand what impact it is likely to have on us. I have always avoided making…
Sunday 19 June – Summer?
Sunday 19 June – Summer? That will teach me to write in last week’s blog that the hot and sunny weather has made cutting the new flower bed more difficult as, almost ever since the blog was published it has been raining and very un-June-like weather. Of the three tasks I had listed that I…
Sunday 12 June – Monsieur Brandon est arrivé
As predicted I wasn’t able to post a blog last week as it was just such an exciting (and busy) day but we have had a very busy, productive (and expensive!) couple of weeks. At the start of the first week we decided to honour the UK public holiday, and enjoy the amazingly hot weather,…
Sunday 29 May – Boot Room progress!!
At last spring has arrived in St. Cadou and we have been enjoying some glorious days of hot weather and long warm evenings allowing us to have our first BBQ of the season (with our newly repaired BBQ) and commission our replacement chiminea. Long may it last! Our wings have been a little clipped this…
Sunday 22 May – Spring, Apparently!
Apologies for posting my blog late. At this time of year we always try and make the most of the light evenings and work until quite late – especially when the weather is dry which sadly hasn’t happened so much in the last week! This week has been very mixed and weather affected. However, for…
Sunday 15 May – Slow Progress …
Despite my comments in last week’s blog that we haven’t progressed as many of our projects as we would have liked in the previous 3 weeks, all for good reason, this past week probably hasn’t been as productive as it should have been either so this will be a short blog and I’m afraid pretty…
Sunday 8 May – Start of the Season
Since writing my last blog, which generated lots of kind comments from people following my short stint in hospital (thank you to everyone for their thoughts) another 3 weeks have flown past and I STILL haven’t started my Boot Room project!! The reasons for the delay in putting finger to button are varied but it…
