Spring is on its way

Well hello everyone, I can't believe it was nearly 6 weeks ago I wrote to you last! So, whats news here, were still not connected to biomass yet, was meant to be before christmas, then was meant to be last Friday, now, hopefully ..........drumroll........it will be tomorrow, its been such a faff, the lack of organisation with the company we used has been awful, however we are just about there! if it doesn't go live tomorrow I will re dig one of the trenches and throw someone in it for sure. Anyway, on a brighter note, the forward bookings coming in from Easter onwards has been incredible, with 25 out of 35 bookings that have come in in the last 10 days being from guests that have stayed here before! thats amazing!, Christmas 2019 is getting booked up with a couple of lodges left, the summer has a little bit of availability left, but really if your thinking about coming to stay you need to book now! we have been taking on average 5 bookings a day which is amazing for a little business like ourselves! The plans we have over the next 3 months are as follows, new patio area for Oak lodge, planting the verges near the main entrance, cutting down the hedge from Heron lodge then up the left handed of the lakes to let more light in and stop snagging for fishermen, and new flower beds outside Heron and Kingfisher lodges......so its going to be a busy few months along with some work inside some of the lodges, I would also like to get the paintbrush out at home but have a feeling that may not happen!! On Tuesday Andrew and I are having a rare day off, we are visiting the factory that cleans all our laundry, may sound boring to some of you but apparently its a really interesting and massive place, and we get a coffee! I should hope so as our laundry bill per month is a big mortgage payment! so at least I can see where my money is going. Were hoping were not going to get any of the white stuff over the next few weeks, as pretty as it is, its a pain in the backside for us, so please snow your welcome to do one! Right the kids are calling for their Roast Beef, it smells amazing, so happy January to you all and see you soon Jill x
