Nearly Easter

Every thing is changing. Spring is at last on the way. There are tents on the fields and the daffodils are out all along the entrance way. However after some dramatically wet weekends the fields are still claggy although not too bad, we are very lucky in having fields that drain quickly.
Preparations are under way for the Easter holidays. We are ordering supplies, cleaning, painting repairing.
The terrace outside the shop is about to be planted with thymes,rosemary,various herbs and lavenders. We are developing a dry garden and abandoning the hanging basket that we have had each year since 1994. This is in recognition of the need to preserve water but also we hope our visitors will be able to have some fresh grown herbs with their suppers in the summer!
