The Chalet Somerset

Wow…I am literally blown away!

One of our lovely guests has returned this evening for a second visit and presented me with a sketch she did of the chalet last time she was here 🥰

Swipe right and you will see another sketch she did whilst she was here last time of a church in Taunton.
Can anyone recognise it and name it? I got it immediately.

Rose, you are an awesome artist and it’s a pleasure to see you return to the chalet and I shall buy a frame when I get the chance and this will take pride of place in the chalet 💜 thank you!

🫶🏻I love the photo of this chap or lady, (I’m no pro at determining the gender of Highland cattle when they are lying down!) I took a couple of years ago near Bruton in Somerset.
🍏 We’re not only infamous for cider and apples in Somerset but also plenty of wildlife.
🏡 Whilst staying in the chalet you will see Roe Deer, Bats, Kestrels, Badgers, Foxes, Owls and not forgetting our own chickens, guinea fowl and of course our two dogs Poppy and Maple!

🐮 Ps - if you are a pro and would like to tell me if this is female or male, please do!

🍏 Happy Somerset Day 2024!
What is Somerset Day?
🎉 Somerset Day is the 11th May and is celebrated annually over the second weekend in May. It marks Alfred the Great’s call to arms and the gathering of ‘all the people of Somerset’ to march against the invading Viking army, and is now an annual opportunity to celebrate all that is “great” about Somerset and its residents and communities.

👑 Alfred is the only Monarch to have been called the Great and following his defeat of the Danes is regarded by many to be the first King of England. By the 890s Alfred’s charters and coinage were referring to him as ‘King of the English’.
🖊️ The date was chosen by an online poll in 2015 in which over 8,000 people voted.

🎊11th May features more than once among the milestones of Somerset history.
For more information on events over the weekend to celebrate, visit www.Somersetday.com

🌺 I dont think I’ve really ever posted from the other end of the chalet….so here we go! We have this wonderful floor to ceiling gable end window in the bedroom and this is what allows for the spectacular views of the rolling Somerset countryside!

🦔 We are lucky enough to live in the countryside and when staying with us at, The Chalet Somerset, you will encounter lots of wildlife such as badgers, deers, bats.
Generally we are lucky enough to see one hedgehog (and that’s special) but to find 3 hedgehogs nestled together on your garden path is an absolute treat!
I found these hedgehogs curled up together one morning on our garden path. I had already moved them carefully into the bushes but they had found their way back onto the path, later the same day, which is when I took the photo.
To be honest I thought hedgehogs were nocturnal but these little ladies (or fellas) were certainly enjoying the sunshine…or maybe they were sleeping off a busy night in the sun 🤔

💜 Never expected but always heart warming to be told you have made a guests holiday special.
🌟 I love meeting new people (and talking!) and it’s a privilege to be able to hosts such wonderful people from across the country (and world) in the chalet. Thank you for the lovely card and chocolates you really were amazing guests!

🌱 The start of this years Walnut harvest!
🍁The green husk falls off in the Autumn, revealing the walnut, which we then need to dry out for a few months before eating.

☀️ Anyone else doing a spot of gardening today?
🪴 The sun finally came out and so I decided to plant up all my pots. I’m just hoping I don’t come to regret it with these rogue frosts 🥶still about at the moment!!

13/04/2023

💐 So, apparently there is warmer weather on the way next week!
☀️ Let’s hope the forecasters are right, as I think we are all in need of some sunshine and thoroughly bored with the constant rain and gusty winds….I have retrieved the recycling bins, on more than one occasion this week, from half way down the orchard!
🍸 I’m also longing to use the BBQ, which has been dusted off and is STILL awaiting its first use of the season. Whilst enjoying the views with some al fresco dining and with a G&T in hand!!
☀️ Roll on Sunshine!!!

❄️ Its bitterly cold out there, the big freeze is apparently on the way and I’m working from home…so the fire has gone on!

🍁 Looked decidedly Autumnal this morning and it felt like a full stop to mark the end of the school holidays.
✨Like every parent across the country today, loads of jobs to do and loads of catching up to do…and finally no more filling the fridge every day for grazing teenagers!!!

🥚 That’s a whopper!
🍳 A lovely Double Yolker
So how do you get a double yolker? Well, a double yolk occurs in an egg when a chicken releases two yolks into the same shell. Double yolks are usually produced by young chickens. Since their reproductive systems have not fully matured, they periodically release two yolks instead of one.
So now you know 😊
