A busy week

We’ve had a busy week this week creating…. Christmas tree decorations for a craft fair next weekend.  It’s a year since playing with clay, but we soon got the hang of it again… it’s remembering what the glazes do  and the colours they turn out.  The results are fine.  It’s so exciting when you open… Continue reading A busy week

Rainbows

The colours are still wonderful and we’ve actually had some drier weather this last couple of weeks.   We have vacancies in the self catering and we will do short breaks at this time of the year even though I can’t get the book now button to do them.. Just e mail me!!!  We wold… Continue reading Rainbows

Friendly sheep!

Somehow, the sheep always understand you and never disagree with you (apart from when they don’t want to do something!). This one is a particularly friendly Herdwick.

Tea Garden goodies!

More Jam!

Plum, apple and damson this time. Why not come for a walk, have a cuppa and support Eden Valley Hospice by buying some jam? It’ll be baking day tomorrow.  I think I’ll be making Chocolate flapjack, Date Slice and Victoria Sponge. Any other suggestions?

However, not all is lost.  Eden Valley Hospice will benefit from any sales of this product. It’s been tested … and have been assured it’s ok!!!

Family Fun

Enjoying a family breakfast in the camping barn.  Weatherproof camping at it’s best.  Why not come and try it for yourselves? We are having rather mixed weather at the moment (typical British summer sort of weather) but don’t be put off.  The waterfalls are amazing and when it’s really rather too damp to venture out… Continue reading Family Fun

The restoration continues

Huge thanks to all concerned who have enabled us to continue with the restoration of our precious landscape.  We have lovely walls and gates.  The fencing job continues as does the gravel removal…. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
