After midnight stunners

Northern Light show in the garden, with the owls providing my sound track. The owls sounded almost as impressed as I was. So chuffed to be able to see some of the lights with the naked eye too.

As autumn arrives, we pretty up the porch with pumpkins. (So far we have an array of small squash but they look so pretty.)

There are several “Scowles” locally and fascinating to visit. They are often used by film companies - I can understand why. I didn’t realise they were unique to The Forest of Fean though - see what Wiki says!

Scowles are landscape features that range from amorphous shallow pits to irregular labyrinthine hollows up to several metres deep[1] and are possibly unique to the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.[2]

Ooh look at this. Definitely worth popping along to see what treasures you can find.

Are you coming to our Craft Fair in the 29th June?
All products on sale will have been made by our Craft & Chatter group. Quality handmade products and well worth a visit. A great way to spend a Saturday morning, no entry charge and with refreshments too.

This gorgeous plant has appeared in the garden. What a special gift. Assuming it’s a common orchid.

Deer me! We enjoyed this evening’s visitors but it seems they like munching on the acers. Might have to do something to protect this one.

Love walks in the Forest of Dean

If you are planning to enjoy some walking during your stay, this link listing some local circular walks might offer some inspiration.

With acres of ancient forest and a stunning winding river valley, walking is of course one of the most popular outdoor activities in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley and there are plenty of options…

This will be lovely day. If you are staying in the area during the last weekend of July, consider booking yourself in on this. Such a great day, meeting lovely people and trying out crafts and coming away with some lovely items.

New heating system boiler. New sofa. Expensive start to the season but looking forward to meeting all guests through spring and summer.
Would love to know what you guys have planned during your stay at The Retreat at Greenfields.
