Two weeks of stunning weather have allowed us time to explore some hidden beaches right on our door step. This one is only a five minute paddle from Lee Bay and we didn't see another soul all day.
We are forecast to have a week of perfect spring weather, fingers crossed.
Is it possible that spring is finally on the way?
Before Christmas the lovely Pacapod team came to shoot their Spring/Summer 2014 collection in the Calfshed and the Apple Press. We love the results and you can try out their Picos Pack for picnics and outings when you come and stay.
Far too pretty to eat.
The chickens have settled back in and are laying again.
The chickens have returned from their 'holiday' with a couple of younger chickens and pair of ducks called Puddles and Pebbles.
It has been a great one.
