I am determined not to write about the weather (more snow forecast as I write) as that seems to dominate this blog, so here goes on other things! We have been closed over Christmas and instead of having our usual well behaved paying visitors we have had a house full of noisy demanding family members ranging from 7 months to 82 years! It has been great fun but really hard work keeping everyone fed, watered and entertained, it is a real relief to be back open for business. I am always bursting with enthusiasm to make improvements for guests once the festive season is over and this year we have plans to modernise the bathroom in Stoney End Cottage (planned for the end of January) and to put a hot tub in for B&B guests in Yoredale, also planned for late January can't wait to see the finished results of those two. I am also going to take the opportunity to do a bit of decorating so everything will look really good for the new season. I hope everyone has a lovely New Year and look forward to seeing you all in 2010!
