Most mornings as we walk around the park, no matter what time of year it is you get a whiff of bacon and sausages cooking. It is hard when all you have had is cornflakes. Today we created our own 'whiff' - we set the stove up on the benches outside reception, invited a friend or two and then created a breakfast feast of sausage, egg and bacon roll with a side of brown sauce and a mug of coffee...can a morning get much better? Well I suppose if I didn't have to clean the toilets it might be slightly better...but all part of the job.
Talking of cleaning toilets, there are not that many left to clean as we have started gutting the old toilet block ready for the big re-build that is happening through the winter. On Monday, rather excitingly we are taking down the new block, as the plans see the brick building coming out into this area. It is an exciting but quite scary time. Ultimately we are please to be creating toilets that we will be proud of with family and disabled facilities and nice new toilets and showers. Obviously there will be lots of updates through the winter about how it is going...just keep everything crossed that the weather is on our side.
The wild flower meadow that we have sown is starting to grow up now - it is about three inches high - I can't wait for this to come into flower, returning the meadow to it's formal glory.
The end of the season is days away now, which brings mixed emotions. It is nice to have a tiny rest - by rest I mean a weekend where we have two days off in a row, the weeks are physically more demanding than peak season as we are usually out planting, digging, painting or something similar. It is sad to shut the gates and see everything go into hibernation, but it is also nice for us to explore Cornwall a bit more. Last night I went out with the girls to The Rashleigh in Charlestown. My friends have long raved about it and I have questioned what all the fuss was about. However I agree it is really rather lovely and worth a visit it you are down here. The food it good quality, well priced and in a lovely atmosphere. It is also child friendly- although we were well and truly child free :-) . This week also sees a night out for Richard and I..a first since our family grew so we are looking forward to that. We are off to the Kingswood which is just up the road from Little Winnick. We have not been for a few years so we will let you know what it is like.
We hope you have a good weekend where ever you are.
