This weekend we welcome a much longed for Bank Holiday and it might, just maybe, even be sunny!  We are excited as our family and friends come to stay for the weekend, and many guests arrive at Little Winnick – the fridge is full and the drinks are already on ice so what does a good bank holiday mean for you?

Hi-de-hi Campers – the 2018 season is well and truly underway and we are very pleased to be welcoming new and returning guests back to our little slice of heaven.  Now to be fair, it didn’t look that heavenly over Easter – the wild, wet weather left us battered and bruised.

We ambitiously (some I suspect thought foolishly) planned an adventure with our three young daughters to France; a weeks stay in Village Nature – the French version of Center Parcs with a day trip to Disney.  Followed by a train adventure across France to Geneva to stay with friends.

Finally on a late November’s evening I sit poised to pen the 2017 review.  I was just sat upstairs in the nursery with our youngest feeding her before bed mulling over this year and I have a funny feeling when we are grey(er) and old(er) we will look back and think of 2017 up there as one of our best seasons and I got a little emotional.

Mike, our lovely warden has inspired this weeks blog because, yes you have guessed it, he has broken his leg.  He is fine and in good spirits, just very, very frustrated he cannot be out and about cutting his rather lovely stripes in the grass which he has been so proud of all season and which we have come to love and admire.

So let’s be honest.  August is yet to provide the wall to wall sunshine the weather people had promised.  So to help you out, here are our top 5 things to do in the rain – I am hoping that by writing it I will start a heatwave and you will not need it…

Any regular blog readers will know I have a soft spot for Heligan.  It is our local garden and we work closely supporting them.  But today it reminded me while I love it so much. Myself, my reluctant colleague Bethany, (3) and Anna (6 months) headed there this morning…

Last night our friends at The Lost Gardens of Heligan kindly gave us tickets to see The Rogue Theatre’s latest offering – The Lost Garden Summer Ball.  Cue two very excited little girls who had their fairy and angel dresses laid out ready all week, and every evening we have practised the face painting to perfect our look…
