Update

Hi folks, yet again I am trying to catch up with things and have only just found time to add a post. The summer season has been great, really busy and at times had a full park, the shower block has coped well and we have had the AA grading of 3 pennants and the visit Scotland has just awarded us 3 stars both has a good percentage and once the new reception is up and running we could get 4 so here's hoping. We are delighted to get 3 for the first grading. We would like to thank all the customers that have made this season a good one and we are all looking forward to you all coming back next season. We have had some fun and meet a lot of lovely people and are looking forward to meeting more. We have a new addition to the family business and his name is Casper he is 9 weeks old and a handful but cute and lovely. The park is fairly quite at the moment but we are coming up to the autumn weather and the closed season. will put another post in a week or so.

A few pics for you

These are the three longest stayers at the park so far they arrived in march for 4 weeks and stayed a least 12 nice guys no trouble and are welcome any time.

Well hi everyone as you can see I have not put a post on for a while we have been fairly busy with things so I thought it was about time I updated every one. The weather this past month has been great, apart from last week, so we have been busy grass cutting hedge trimming and yesterday I started ditching. The phone has been going mad for bookings in August and the busy time starts next week. I have put on some pics of happy campers for you. The van is something new, an airstream base. I had never seen one before but it is a great looking van with a tent on the back. A couple of weeks ago we had a young woman called Amy who is walking the whole of great Britain's coast in aid of kidney research. You can look her up on 'Amy goes coastal' web site. If she is in your area, give her your support. Today the weather is windy and dry but I think the rain is on its way. On a sad note Sapper had to be put to sleep on the 06 July as his kidneys failed. It was a very heartbreaking time for us, but better for him. He had a whale of a time since we moved to the park and really came out of himself and I would like to thank everyone who has sent cards and things. Well folks I will try to post more regularly and I hope to meet you all in the near future.

Busy Busy

Well sorry there has been no blog for a little while as we have been very busy the site is buzzing with activity and we have not had time to do a lot but run the park and at the end of the day we are tired. We have had a lot of visitors from other countries which is good. Had our very first American motor home yesterday they are something else. Sapper is being very sociable and is enjoying the company of others which has surprised me. We have nearly had a full park last weekend with tents and motor homes which is really good and we are getting drive ins all the time now. The grass is growing fast and green which is good and the trees and shrubs are all in leaf and flowering. The midges have been out this last week and are biting me and sapper nobody else seems to be getting bit. The Sun has been shining a lot and the heat is very hot but the campers are loving it. Well I will sign off now and put some pics on the next time.

Getting busy

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in putting a new post on but we have been very busy with lots of visitors. We have had a few tents and vans and it was great to meet Lainey and Dave and we have a little corner for you when you return lol. We have had a lot of nice people from all over and people from Hungry, Switzerland and France. So far everyone has had a good stay. The weather has been great this past couple of weeks and we are hoping it stays a bit longer but who knows. The bookings are coming in and we are hopefully going to be busy. Sapper is getting used to all the coming and goings and is enjoying meeting everyone. The sit on mower is back from getting sorted and dad has had fun cutting the grass except for the wheel blowing up first time out but that's fixed now. Dick has finally sorted the loos so that's great. All the bushes are growing and had hair cut today by Dad and Uncle John. The hill on the other side of the road had a very large fire it was like something you would see on the tele thankfully no one was hurt and our park looks the other way. It wont take long for everything to turn green again. I have put on a few pics of our happy customers.

Update

Well things are looking up now we have had some bookings coming in and the website is getting a lot of hits so that seems to be working. The weather up here has been a bit hit and miss we had a really lovely day on Monday then Tuesday it was rain and the wind was strong today we got up to snow but the sun came out this afternoon and the snow disappeared and we had a great afternoon. We have had 3 roaming sheep on the park this week and sapper has had a great time herding the away from the park we do not know who they belong to but they can be a nuisance and I am having to pick up the mess they are leaving behind. But sapper loves chasing them off I was surprised because he normally runs away from other animals. Our shower block is finished so I have put some pics on. We had visitors yesterday mums aunt Elaine and uncle Les and we all went to the Holly Tree for a meal which is a hotel restaurant in the next village and it was lovely the staff could not have looked after us any better it was a real treat. Well I will sign off for tonight and will do a new post in a couple of days. Oh before I forget we had a power cut on Tuesday but we coped very well with our customers and every one was ok. Dick has had a power cut all day today at the old schoolhouse on the east coast but I hope it will be back on soon.

Sorry not to have updated everyone, but we have been busy setting everything up. We have had our first tents this week and our first seasonal pitch is arriving tomorrow. The Toilet and showers are just about complete with 1 toilet in the gents and 1 in the ladies still out of operation. We are still waiting for some parts to arrive, but dick has been busy finishing the rest and they are all operational. I will take some photos later and post them on. All of the toilet roll holders and everything are now on. We have had to send some of the wall panels back so we are waiting for them and they should be back this week. All in all we are now fully functional and we think they look great. The weather has let us down with rain but the ground is fully drained but it stops us tidying. It was nice this afternoon so tomorrow we will start again. Dads shed is up now and water tight. The reception is now up and running and bookings are starting to come in so we are looking forward to meeting all the people who have booked. We had a visit today from mums pal Pat and Alec and it was lovely to see them. I will finish of now and will post some pics tomorrow
