Pots of gold

Today something happened that I have been trying to do since a child.  My Mum always used to say there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.  Well, on pitch one this afternoon, I found the end of the rainbow.  There was no pot of gold that I could find...we will keep hunting for it!  I couldn't quite capture the moment but right is the best I could do, it was the most amazing rainbow I have ever seen and there was not only one but two at the same time. Obviously a rainbow would indicate rain followed by glorious sunshine.  That is indeed the case, showers on and off and rather chilly.  No sign of snow...but perfect building weather apparently.

Talking of building, I have been taking loads of bookings in the last few days and many of you have asked for more pictures of the toilet block.  So here are a selection of the build.  The concrete raft was a challenge, but went in well in the end.  We have had to build a raft for the new building because of the water table.  A raft is held in place by a vast steel cage.  Once the cage was in place they poured the concrete - note the length of the concrete pouring pipe - that was the longest the company could find!  Once the first lot of concrete was poured we then had to have more steel then a second pour on concrete.

Following the installation of the raft we were able to start the block work.  The existing building you can see has been thoroughly gutted and new windows, walls, drains and utilities have been installed.  The floor has been 'diamond grinded' in preparation for the new flooring.  The plumbers have been hard at it installing miles of new pipes.  This building will house the ladies facilities.  The new build will house the male facilities, family, and disabled toilet along with laundry and washing up area.

I will try and get our this week and get some more up to date pictures for you.

Away from the build it has been a busy time with bookings coming in thick and fast, we are getting pretty booked up in August so please don't leave it to the last minute to book.  Also remember that we offer 7 nights for the price of 5 at various times throughout the season, so why not make the most of a Cornish break.  To take up this offer please book direct with us either on our website or by giving us a call on 01726 843687.
