19th June 2025 - Clearing the Beer Garden

Thought for the day :"Saw someone playing  Dancing Queen on a Didgeridoo - I thought that's Abba-riginal”

Dry and Sunny 

Just a quick look back at what we were facing ...
Didn't take a photo of the completed and cleared beer garden as I was to hot and exhausted

 

Will rectify that tomorrow

But we will be ready to open tomorrow - might even get the lawn cut in the morning

We shall see

 

Weather forecast looks to be hot and dry - though just seen a suggestion of Storms !
 Would be typical if we find that we are going to be wet at the start

But ready to raise money for Canolfan y Don - the Aberporth  Special Needs Unit at Aberporthy School 

Ho Hum 

Cheers 

  

18th June 2025 - Clearing the Gardens again

Thought for the day :"The reason aliens don't visit us is because our solar system has received terrible reviews. We only have one star."

Dry and hot

Wednesday - so day with Chris and completely tired at the end of a day cutting box hedges, clearing the lower island and balsam from around the Yurt and general work in the heat .

But as we sit in the evening with a glass of wine - the sea mist came in and adds a touch of magic to the gardens 

But earlier we put up the banners on the road up to the tavern...

 

Cheers 

17th June 2025 - We have a Telegraph Pole

Thought for the day :"Any staircase can be a stairway to heaven if you are clumsy enough"

Dry and very sunny 

Got a telegraph Pole

Put the street lights down to the Bridge 

Sarn Helen Rose Croix this evening. It appears that the Nunc Dimitis is no longer usable as a closing hymn - Who Knew!

Very long meeting - but over 34 visitors and 50 dining - a possible record.

 

Cheers 

16th June 2025 - Sunny And Hot

Thought for the day :"I’m friends with 25 letters of the alphabet. I don’t know why."

Dry

Susie found a golden Easter Egg so I gave her a Cadbury's Chocolate egg as a reward.

Cheers 

15th June 2025 - Cheque presentation

Thought for the day :"My Partner and I watched 3 DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly."

Dry

Cheers 

14th June 2025 - A little bit wet

Thought for the day :"I went on a once in a lifetime holiday. Never again."

Have some pictures of a hound

Cheers 

13th June 2025 - Rainy Day blues

Thought for the day :"Sharks never go completely bald.  Just a little fin on top."

Wet 

A bit of a "Non" day today.

Popped out to get more bird food for the wild birds, suet bits, and fat balls and some layer pellets.

Dodged the rain in the morning  to walk Toby along our normal route, but took the opportunity of walking up to Wyn's Shepherd Hut while trying to give Ned and Ted enough time to get ahead of us so we would not have to separate the dogs - in fact Toby was very good and crouched when he say Ted and was happy to go onto the lead.

Too wet to do anything in the garden but a couple of pictures of Fabio because he is in fine fashion at the moment.  

Cheers 

12th June 2025 - And back on line - though a little sporadic

Thought for the day :"I told the Doctor I was having a problem with my left ear. Asking "Are you sure?". I replied "Yes I'm definite." "

Wet

Cat staying with us in the Yurt for a couple of days

Managed a good day with Chris yesterday clearing a lot of ground and chopping hedges but today it is incessant rain and taking the opportunity to clear some long standing broadband absent issues 

 

But have a picture of a Lap Dog 

Cheers 

15th April 2025 - An infestation of Belgians

Thought for the day :"The NHS is great - I had an operation in my neck and haven't looked back since"

Wet

2025 : Wet 46 : Dry 57

So - Tuesday and the day we have been working towards for the last three months.

And after all the lovely weather we have been having - it is of course raining - and raining hard!

Cheers

 

14th April 2025 - Almost ready for an Invasion

Thought for the day :"My granddad has the heart of a lion and a lifetime ban from London Zoo."

Wet 

2025 : Wet 45 : Dry 57

Final touches and just a little panic as we get to the end of our tie before the invasion of the Belgians!

Area for the Pissoir - flooring in place but not managed the screens yet - hopefully for tomorrow 

New Duck Pond - started setting the stones in Mole Earth from the mole mounds 

Could take some time - but the mole is very active at the moment 

And so to the erection of tents 

And so we start 

And so No 1 is up 

And so two are completed.

Toby helps !

No 3 up and starting on 4

One tent is not of the same standard

Seems that this one has been packed dirty unlike the others and  and floor zip not fully working 

Not major but a little concerning 

And so a Giraffe View

And so, after this the Tavern needed clearing and the tunnel sorted, 

Busy day all round. Sarah and Dave brought some work  top for the outdoor kitchen 

and some outside tables and chairs which is very generous and will be placed tomorrow 

Another very long day and we are both very tired.

Cheers !
