Teapot Lane was a hive of activity this weekend for the May Bank holiday.  The camp was occupied by a family group with Mum’s, Dad’s,  Gran’s, Granda’s, Uncles, Aunts , cousins….you get the idea!!

The three new chickens have settled in and are producing a tasty egg each everyday.  I have planted up the raised beds in the veggie patch with yummy orgainc, lettuce, rocket, lots of herbs, carrotts and beetroot…. I can’t wait to be eating those with my BBQ soon enough!

The sun shone and a lovely evening by the campfire with live harp and tin whistle playing from local musician Liam and all was captured on camera for the TV program Nationwide.  A delicious gormet BBQ feast was cooked up by our chef.  The atmosphere was magic as the kids played in the treehouse and swings in the fairy garden and toasted marshmallows by the fire.

Teapot Lane is looking it’s best and delighted that the new season of glamping is in full swing again!

Phew!  The Ladybird yurt was the final yurt to go up today after some rainey weather set backs and not a monent too soon, tomorrow night they will be occupied for the first time this year!  That doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy as we have our first big party of 2012 on the last weekend in Feburary, the two cottages were occupied and the weather was great. 

The girls got into the spirit and layered on the woolies and even enjoyed the food and tunes alfreseco, parting by the campfire well into the night! 

So delighted to have the yurts all freshly set up for what promises to be the busiets glamping season yet!  Easter will be a busy time with a real family vibe, I have stocked up on the marshmallows already. 

Hard work though I’m exhausted this evening, but will have to conserve my energy for massaging the girls on Saturday!  Then next week when all my work is done it will be my turn to be pampered when I treat myself to a massage!

The final day of the year is approaching fast and a great year it was too.  What a time for resulotions and new beginings…I have so many and I’m guessing that some of my declarations like frequent trips to the gym and all sorts of fitness classes, may not be lived up to in their entirity!

Then again who needs so much time at the Gym when there is so much to do at Teapot Lane!  Next week is for some ground work and hedge planting then as the weeks go on more and more projects will be taken on to ensure Teapot Lane looks fab in its 3rd year in the glamping business.

March will see the yurt season kicking off with fresh enthuisasim each yurt like a little boutique hotel room, I can’t wait to get them all up again…(Anyone one wishing to voulenteer to help get the yurts up at the end of Feb get in touch!)

January is a great month for planning summer breaks or organising that special event like a Hen Party or a Birthday Party or just a big ould get together with family or friends, trust me theres no better way than a spot of luxury camping in your own private haven!  The bookings for 2012 are flying in now so if you have a special event in mind get in touch soon!

Teapot Lane will be having a Guided hillwalking weekend in April, I will confirm the date of that shortly and anyone interested in booking a yurt/hillwalking weekend please get in touch and book your place.

Well enjoy whats left of 2011, and all the festivities this weekend and You will be hearing from me again in 2012!
