Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything’s right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
And everybody’s smiling, it’s so inviting

You can find these cute new shoes (well slippers really) in the magical Mongolian Yurt. Unless I get to them first!

Chestnuts about to be roasted on an open fire. Autumn-time at the Shepherds Hut. Come stay a while before the squirrels get them all!

Visiting a pumpkin patch is more than just an outing, it is a way to connect with nature, explore family traditions and support local business. Thank you for having us

What do cats think about all day?

When it comes to what cats think about all day, it’s not just about the immediate – food, play, sleep – but also about feeling safe, secure, and part of the family. Our perceptions may be different, but we’re not so different when it comes down to it. US Feliway.

Take a winter break in the Shepherds Hut, the Mongolian Yurt or, the Bothy. All come with log burning stoves & fire pits - super cosy.

What is S’mores short for?

The first mention of this treat is in a 1927 edition of the Girl Scout manual “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” In a nod to the treat’s addictive qualities, it was dubbed “Some More.” The term s’more is first found the 1938 guide “Recreational Programs for Summer Camps,” by William Henry Gibson.

‘Lindsay’s Yurt is a wonderful place to experience that real sense of escapism. Tucked away and with all the amenities you could ever need, it’s a real delight. Inside it had a cozy authentic feel and with the log burner it’s super warm and comfortable. If you get the chance don’t pass it by. Just enjoy’. Darcy, Superguest at The Yurt

Air drying thoughts. With an average tumble dryer using approximately 5,000 watts of energy per load, air drying is far better for the environment

Air drying romanticises an everyday chore, I love to watch laundry (preferably white) float gently on the breeze and how it smells after it comes off the line.

Air drying for mental health. Whilst there aren’t many studies available that say air drying specifically improves mental health, there are studies that say being outdoors and in the sun can alleviate depression, improve your immunity, and increase social relationships - Under a tin roof.

The period between late Summer and Autumn is the perfect time for all kinds of fungi to grow. The warm weather along with the moisture from rainfall means that, under the cover of trees and shrubs you may find a myriad of amazing species - PK Porthcurno.

These are growing at Shepherds Hut underneath the old, majestic Horse Chestnut tree.

Wish you were here. I miss the sending and receiving of postcards. Of course I know email is faster and texting is instant, but there is something to be said about sending a postcard to a friend or loved one. It suggests a bit of vintage charm and old school thoughtfulness that are often forgotten, and definitely muted by the high-tech messaging of today.
