Sadly, I have to wrap up this blog, this time permanently. It’s been wonderful to have this community, most of the time; unfortunately, my tormentor follows many of you now and, despite me blocking him, he may find his way back to me through your interactions. What happened in 2018 is still very painful to me and I cannot risk a repeat of the abuse I have suffered. Goodbye guys, I wish the good souls well Gill x ..read more

I know my layout and blocks are all out. Stuff has changed since 2020. Bear with me whilst I get back into blogging. Also, I have blocked the person who slandered and defamed me and almost killed my blog in 2018; and, sadly, I will have to block anyone that they follow for the sake of my own peace of mind ..read more

Many moons ago, I bought two colonial style fans from UK ebay. One was white with a vile ’80’s gold design on it. So the Autentico chalk paints and one of my classic stencil and transfer books came out. Voila, barely an hour’s work; and now the beam in the terrace room has been restored, we could mount it. These fans, even on slow speed, make the second floor comfortable, even when it is over 40 degrees outside. The house does regulate itself, but the last two summers have been exceptional. The electric consumption is low, and solar is our next project ..read more

Rainbow lustre vintage glass shades. Good old IKEA chrome wall lights , primed and then painted with Autentico chalk paints Sealed with matt varnish…the amount of eye rolling my electrician does is quite phenomenal. He prefers electrical fittings that are brand new, in a box, with a leaflet. Just wait, Jonathan, till you see all those antique and vintage fittings I have that need COMPLETE rewiring ..read more

So, I decided against fig and grey. Too much going on in here with other accent colours- celadon, navy blue, magenta, violet …. I used Autentico Versante matt on the plastered walls and Versante eggshell on the wooden panelling and beams/joists. Colour is “White Cliff” A little more panelling and some touching up, then the reclaimed terrazzo skirtings go on. Basin and tap and shower assemblies all to be replaced. Jury still out on what vanity or sink cupboard we are having; mainly because the cabinet that exists in my head does not exist in reality ..read more

Mystery leak number two cured

So, the mystery leak from one of the velux windows in our shower room… The original French builder is not interested . I take back anything kind I ever said about him. I do not wish him a happy retirement . Three other supposedly expert roofers, Three!!!!….got up on this roof to look. Eventually, a friend’s son came over. He has been a farmer in France for over thirty years, but trained as a roofer in windy and wet Wales as a young man. A five minute check identifued the problem. The original builder had matched the angle of the old roof when he installed the veluxes. The right hand velux was ..read more

Ok, as I posted only sporadically between late Spring 2018 and late 2020, I think a little backtracking might be in order. We survived the Covid 19 lockdown restrictions here in deepest France; continuing with projects on the house, where we had materials to work with as shopping (other than for essentials) was a no-no for a long time. I had formulated the idea of creating a limited edition calendar with twelve local views, to sell by mail order and at the arts/crafts/brocante shop I had helped set up in September 2018; and which was now, naturally, closed for the duration. I had a stock of ..read more
