And that was Summer!

Well, another Summer has passed and my good intentions to keep the blog updated have gone by the wayside.  We have had a very busy Summer and are continuing to welcome guests in the cottages although the Bed & Breakfast is now a little quieter.

The weather has been glorious (at last) and the families that have stayed with us have lived at the beach during the day and made good use of the BBQs, terraces and balconies for outdoor eating during the evenings.

Beautiful days make for beautiful sunsets over the woods.

The vegetable garden has done so well this year and we have had a bountiful harvest beginning with salad leaves, radishes and beetroot followed by runner beans, potatoes and tomatoes; adding a couple of our own eggs and fresh figs and we have had several meals that have been entirely home grown - delicious!

All shapes and sizes and not a bit like Tesco's!

Beetroot and goat's cheese has become a favourite

Our grandson Guy and daughter Katherine have visited most days over the Summer and he has quickly grown into a proper little man.  They have used the swimming pool a lot, especially during July's very hot weather and Guy is a complete water baby.

Libby and Katherine took him out into the Tumble room the other day and although obviously far too young to play he enjoyed the bright colours and 'sat' nicely to have his photograph taken!

And so we have arrived at October...October! Libby is being kept busy with making her delicious evening meals for the young families staying in the cottages and our thoughts turn to the list of winter jobs that need to be tackled and of course Christmas and what new ideas we can come up with to delight those who stay with us over the festive period.
