Well, it seems all I do is talk about the weather, but im amazed this year at how mild it has been. No snow, no frost. I moved a lot of leaves today and the spring bulbs are already sprouting through an inch or so. If it stays like this the pool will be open earlier this year, only 8 weeks to go and I will be getting it ready, fresh salt, fresh water and get the heater going to get it up to temperature. It was end of March when I opened it last year.
The garden is now looking a little bare, and over the next week we shall be planting seeds in the barn to get them ready for planting.
I have found an old cart up in the field, our neighbour recons its been there for at least 60 years. It is now in the barn slowly getting restored. I plan to fill it full of plants and put it at the front of the house. Pictures to follow.
Two lots of guests arriving for the February half term. One is a family from the charity we support THHN who are here for a break with their children, one of whom is struggling through treatment. We have managed to get futurescope to give them all free passes to the theme park, so lets hope they have a good time. The other family is a couple who have stayed before and are bringing their parents with them. So we are looking forward to February half term.
