January has been a busy month.  We’ve  managed to achieve a lot…. A new skylight in the camping barn, and new, powerful shower in the Hayloft.  We’ve put loads more insulation in the loft too so it should retain it’s heat better. The marmalade has been made and the fruit spirits bottled.

The front porch has decided it needs urgent attention… We’ve know for years.. but with foot and mouth and 3 floods to recover from somehow it never hit the top of the list… Well it has now!  so watch this space (but not too closely!)

Will has made steps into the original garden where I’m hoping to plant raspberries eventually.

The hens are laying and there’s snow on the tops.  The year has turned.
