The willow hedge was getting slightly out of hand so have started to give it a trim, still the other side to go. Willow when you do it yourself is cheap but definitely grows fast! The second picture is the willow tunnel!!

Gardening in the rain! This is the very wild garden area, that I never quite have time for. Managed to tie in the willow tunnel, pull up the nettles, bind w**d, plant some more wild flower seed and got very wet!

Last weekend of the Easter hols is available so book now! t’s all about the kids at duck duck goose. Come and stay with the little ones they’ll love it, loads of wooden toys, books, dress up outfits, outside kitchen, willow tunnel, and even a projector for a film night. And for the adults there’s the coffee machine, comfy chairs, a firepit and gradually a garden! So come and chill while the children are happy.

The sun is out! We’re all ready for next guests.

Stocking up on toilet paper from I try to be as sustainable as possible at the barn. So I buy toilet roll. All soap, washing up liquid etc are refilled from , i ask my guests to sort waste so I can recycle and compost as much as possible. I also give a percentage of my earnings from the barn to who I think are amazing, if you haven’t come across them take a look at their account.
