Wow what a difference from last year, it’s nice to see the fruits of your labour. Wild flower meadows are being trialled as I’ve never done one before. Most of the land has been levelled, top dressed, over seeded so the lawn mower doesn’t think it’s on a BMX track. It’s nice to see green rather than mud. It won’t be long before the landscaping is complete. Thank you everyone that has shared, followed, liked and invited friends to watch the progress xx

Superb, we have a classic car rally literally running along side our holiday homes. Need a company banner making ASAP Groves Design & Print

What a lovely day to carry on backfilling/levelling the land for sowing the lawn, plus levelling and perfecting the paths and patios. While we await the Structural Engineers Calcs.

Hi everyone. Please feel free to share our posts so we can hit the ground running, when we open to guests later this year. It’s a massive undertaking for us, I’m giving up weekends and most of my spare time to see if I can complete a dream…now I have started it😁

October 2023

In October we finished the walls, patios, paths and parking around the 3rd and 4th holiday lets.

We had a good tidy up on the site and finished dressing the landscape ready for winter months.

We will have a well-earned rest over the winter months.

Its nice to look back on past posts to see what Adam, Logan, Brooke me achieved over the year while still running www.s-richards.co.uk

We cant wait to make a start on building the holiday homes in spring next year, knowing we achieved getting all of the work done below ground level and landscaping the land.

September 2023

In September we managed to get one side of the landscaping completed and ready to sow the wild meadow flowers and lawns.

No more mud on 😊and looking forward to nature doing its bit.

We started to get organised on the 3rd and 4th holiday lets.

Logan went tree climbing.

The project hasn’t broken me yet and the tan has improved, it’s very peaceful here, nice, warm and stress free in the fresh air.

I do enjoy the vast skies here and watching the seasons change the landscape.

We managed to nearly complete the walls on the 3rd and 4th holiday lets.

Logan and Brooke helped plant some of the Silver Birch saplings along the path.

We tidied up the entrance as a tidy ship is a happy ship.

August 2023

In August we concentrated on getting the first 2 Holiday lets bricked up to damp course level, we have not done much bricklaying before, we don’t think it turned out to bad.

We completed some of the drainage pipe work on one half of the airfield, back filled some of the trenches and levelled off some of the meadows.

We laid the path linking up two of the holiday lets and completed two of the patios.

We had a lovely visit from the Red Arrows who made a love heart just above us.

June 2023

What a scorcher of a month June was with loads of hot weather and sunshine.

We carried on with the sole purpose of getting as much as possible done on the ground works, paths, and parking. It’s nice to see a dream slowly come true.

We laid the curved path and started to dress the soil levelling and raking as we go.

We regularly see all kinds of aircraft here, light aircraft from the local airfield just a stone’s throw away, bombers, Apache helicopters and the red arrows drawing a massive love heart just above us.

To entertain Logan & Brooke I mowed a maze into the meadow and hid objects in them to find. This may be implemented into the final meadows when the holiday Homes are built for guest’s entertainment.

On a nice summers day its lovely to fly kites here.

We made good progress with the patio edging, carpark, drainage and found a locket.

Taking up one of the hard standings was hard going as the concrete was rather strong and thick, it was crushed and upcycled into the final part of the carpark base which is now thankfully completed.

Sometimes it pays to be observant to the local flora because after spending money on some Hazelnut trees you then discover the original hedge row has plenty.

We carried out soil sampling in preparation for laying the mains water pipe work.

May 2023
During May, another hot month, it was a quiet month for the Airfield, we had a few customers we had to help with Home Improvements.

Logan & Brooke had a go at building work and designed and built their rabbit home, I’m not too sure Bugs Bunny approved. We played on the trampoline and had some family time 😊

I decided to break up the concrete bolder that was blocking the entrance when we bought the site, 4 hours and it was done and upcycled into the parking area hardcore.

Brooke gave me a hand stacking out bricks.

We got a small section of the car park finished and out of the mud.
