28th March 2024 - Getting ready to open

Thought for the day :"When I said butter I should have said Ghee – I should have clarified"

Rain 65 : Dry 22 

Bag 21

Another full day of rain - indeed a real downpour at one time while we were trying to prepare the Tavern for tomorrow.  But we are lucky - there was snow over Aberystwyth and up near Llangurig and even Brynhoffnant had some white stuff.

Indeed it felt cold enough for sleet and snow here - though we just had the west stuff.

Decided to put the big umbrella up and made up the last two benches to go under them .  Still being hopeful that we will have a customer or two.

Vectra is still broke - Tom and Jay say that they will come around in the morning and take it away to look at  - probably means I will not get a lie in in the morning...

repainted the bottle display and the plastic Table - sadly - Jim rubbed up against it later - but I think that we got most of it off his coat..

Extra Tables and cover 

Ssie clearing the leaves and muck off the ground 

Building the tables 

Jim in Charge - Toby Helping

Still looking good at the Springs 

Blue Bells are out 

Baby Giraffe keeps falling over so put a plinth down for him  - see if that helps 

Sadly Crimson Moon Sign has not fared well over the last two winters - I think it was in the dry too much and then the damp as the ply has split and fallen to pieces 

Have strapped it up so we will be able to take all the parts off and put it onto a new piece of board.

 Cheers
