Another year ahead of us and already the bookings for Kelpie cottage are coming in,Looking foward to seeing  couples coming back  and in meeting new couples,We haven't had the snow of the last 2 years instead we have had the rain and gales, hopefully that will clear the air for a beautiful warm summer.Daffodils are 3" tall already and the first signs of spring are aparent in the gardens. I'm afraid Cassie is  very frail now, she still enjoys her food and walks but seems to enjoy curling up infront of the fire more.Tess on the other hand is as bouncy as ever, The sheep are inside for the winter and are due to start lambing on the 7th of April,they are blooming, they will be scanned in febuary. Thankyou for all your emails its so good to keep in touch, and very much appreciated.I am busy making all kinds for the shop, my new craft this year is pyrography, burning pictures onto wooden articles, Im loving it, I was going to start spring cleaning but pyrography is much more fun.If any of you are planning on coming back even later in the year give me a call and I'll book you in before the rush starts, which just leaves me to wish that all your dreams come true in 2012, wealth, health and happiness for you all.
