For wet days (heaven forbid!)

Yes, we couldn’t resist putting a large screen tv in the sitting room. Well it’s not that large (32″) and it doesn’t dominate the room too much. The fact is, a large tv is the norm for many folk now and we had this one spare having upgraded at home.

If you feel very strongly that this is a bad move, then blog away and if it seems to be the consensus of the guests at the cottage, then we’ll swop it back for the 26″

Big garden upgrade

March 15th, 2009

The somewhat ‘historic’ back garden with dilapidated and fortunately defunct, old loos has gone and been replaced with pretty flowerbeds, paving and picnic area. There is a new shed to house bikes, bbq and picnic stuff and gardening gear. A brick-built bbq is large enough to feed a small army and the cooking rack for that and the small weber for twosomes is stored in the shed. There is also a large gas patio heater with light so that once the kiddies are in bed, or if it’s just a cooler evening, you can still enjoy a nice glass or two of wine out there without freezing to death. The gas bottle has a gauge on it so we will make sure that it doesn’t run out during your stay.
