Approaching Easter

The weather has ben mixed with some really lovely days and latterly some relentless rain. However the daffodils here are now fully out, the picture was taken last week, this week it was too WET to get the camera out!
Easter at the end of next week. People ask us if we book then but it is all on a first come basis at this time of the year.
By the way here is a link to The first Purbeck Walking Festival , should be good.

The Season Begins

We opened yesterday, Friday 12th March.
I t was a fairly good day dry and ALMOST warm! Spent the day setting out the shop and finding out all the things that didn't work, inevitable ater being shut for 4 months and more. As everything has to be drained down and emptied out in case of freezing and other there are always some taps that leak or similar. It was looking pretty good and we had our first visitors arriving by 10.00a.m.
Pictured here the first tent and the first motorvan of 2010.

Springtime

Today has been glorious, one week before we open. Fingers crossed that it will be as good!
The primroses were a delight to discover.
So now, before next Friday, there is a great deal to do , fences to put up again as they have to be taken down in October to save them from winter gales, notices to go up , the water has to be turned on , the tanks filled and the shop stocked.
