A Quick Peak at the New Terraces!

A quick blog to show you my new terraces!  They are fantastic and in front of each pod as well as the BBQ hut and they serve to make the pods look even more smart and enhance the natural colours.  Great party weekend in the BBQ Hut - a "steady" night with lots of laughter!

All go in the hills......

We have had a manic week with all pods full constantly and some lovely guests....  The Hut has had a lot of guests enjoying a cosy, twinkly lights get-together and I feel like I am now just a permanent grass cutting machine (had to be cut nearly three times this week due to rain and sun!)
