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…
Sunday 17th April – Bonne Santé
In last week’s blog, I said that I hoped to be able to start the next ‘major’ project this week which is to convert the old ‘Mouse House’ into our new boot and drying room. I have achieved nothing – although this time think I have a pretty valid reason. When I wrote last week’s blog I…
Sunday 10 April – Spoiled for Culinary Choice
I mentioned in last week’s blog that our work programme for the week was going to be very weather dependent and include preparing Granary for guests who arrived on Friday. The weather was suitably spring like with just about every condition you would expect from warm sunshine to bursts of heavy rain and hail. This…
Sunday 3rd April
I mentioned at the end of last week’s blog that we were waiting with trepidation for the arrival of Storm Katie that was passing up the channel over Sunday night into Monday morning and we had battened down the hatches in anticipation. Unfortunately, we hadn’t battened all of the hatches down and we suffered a…
Sunday 27 March – Joyeuses Pâques
So, true to my word, a blog on a Sunday evening again and I will ensure that I get back into posting more regularly. Firstly, as I also made a commitment in last week’s blog, I have attached a couple of photographs of the, finally planted, new flower bed in front of Hayloft which we…
Monday 21 March – Back, But Not Been Away
Another apology required as it has been two weeks (and a day if you’re counting) since I posted my last blog. Sorry. The reasons for this are that, while we have been working, we have also been entertaining, and sadly both David and I have succumbed to a nasty virus that has knocked us out…
Sunday 6 March – Wet, Wet, Wet
Sunday 6 March – Wet, Wet, Wet Firstly, I have had some complaints from my loyal reader that I didn’t publish a blog last week. Please accept my apologies. There are a couple of reasons for this. Principally, we came home a little late from birthday drinks with some new friends in Commana, but also,…
