Last week of Feb.


Today, a miserable, wet, grey and dreary one was conspicuous mostly by the arrival of Jason from Wildlife Windows to put up a bird nest with camera installed. The idea being that we will have in the shop a TV monitor to view nesting birds. This will be quite fun, if any birds decide to take up residence.
The site does NOT look at its best at present and only three weeks until we open. The sheep have gone and so have the workmen, but there is a great deal of tidying up before we welcome the first visitors.
Burngate Stone Centre is to have an Easter craft fair so watch this space for info about that

Signs of spring


There are all sorts of promising signs of spring around ,there are a few primroses in the little wooded area on the site and the daffodils are pushing up near the gate.
I went on a printmaking course at the Burngate Stone Centre on Friday, it was bitterly cold to start with but became quite cosy through the day. Very interesting. It is a long while since I have done any printmaking so it was refreshing.
Meant to take my camera but forgot so will put a different picture here for now!
