What a gorgeous day it is today here in North Yorkshire, makes you glad to be alive! Bright blue skies, sunshine and the glorious sight of seeing the trees starting to turn, awesome! We had a great afternoon at the local Nidderdale Show in Bewerley Park last Monday, the sun shone, the crowds flocked and even Kirsty Allsop was there from Channel 4 filming her new show 'Kirsty's Homemade Home'. The Nidderdale Show is the last agricultural show in the year, a chance for the local farming community to get together before the weather turns and to show off their hard work throughout the year. It's of course a good opportunity for a few local beers to be enjoyed and local produce to be sampled too!
For me, this time of year is all about reflection. Looking back at what we've achieved, how business has been for us and concentrating on keeping busy during the forthcoming winter months. It's also the time to get any jobs done; outdoor maintenance before the weather does become more unsettled and looking at improvements we can make for the future too. We have just started working with Dorthe and her team at Sedbergh Soap Company who create fantastic and natural skincare products, made by hand in the Yorkshire Dales, hope our guests will love them as much as we do! We are also giving our websites a new look for the Winter so we'll keep you posted on that front too!
It's been a great year for business, sometimes have to pinch myself on just how busy we have been and when I read our visitors book and the lovely comments received, well it's what it's all about.
Hoping this Indian Summer is around for a few more days yet.......
Take care,
