Another year begins

Happy New Year to friends old and new. We had a great Christmas and hope you all did to.
Where is the snow that was predicited last autumn. So far we have had rain, rain and more rain. Lorna and I are are thinking about building an Ark for the animals and us. The caravan field ground is remarkably firm, thanks to the stone path and draining we put in two years ago.
We have had the builders in, adding a bedroom into our loft. The original plan was for it to be finished by Christmas – should have known better. Scaoffolding still up, a metal girder big enough to support Blackpool Tower still sticking out our hedge and dust everywhere, regardless of the number of times it is cleaned up. What was that saying – it will be alright when it’s finished. Lets hope so.
Bookings for 2012 have been coming in so hopefully we will have a good year. The shower & toilet seems to have coped with last years usage and is going to be finished painting, tiling etc as soon as it stops raining. Currently out pet sheep are munching on the grass in the Caravan field, 7 of them hopefully will be having their lambs in the spring starting at the begining of March. The chickens are growing webbed feet and have stopped laying and looking very sorry for them selves because of the weather. So roll on Spring.
The centre of the field, which is left to grow naturally was planted with some wild flower seeds so hopefully we will see a bit more colour next year.
Well, its back to painting upstairs. Looking forward to hearing/seeing you.
Lorna & Ray
