What a glorious week on the ponds, the weather heat wave has certainly brought people out and sent us ducks in -- the water that is!
This week we a new craft workshop opened up. Free Bird Framing is a picture framer and sells memorabilia pictures. Peter and Jo Turvey who are running the business have started this weekend having first noticed the unit for sale when they came to the Blues Festival this summer - funny how a Blues Festival can change your life!
Last night we were all kept awake by laughter and light from the restaurant where a wine tasting was going on. Paul Green from Heritage Wines was leading the tasting of the new range of Australian and New Zealand Wines that had literally just landed! They must have been good as everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The Hattery Ladies were here for two days this week rather than just one (we were glad as they are very nice ladies and always pop out to see us!). They had a Hat Sale on with some dashing pieces on display - not quite as jaunty as the Crested Duck's head gear - but close!
On the ponds there is a little sad news as one of the four "reared" ducklings disappeared one evening when they had all declared UDI and refused to go into their pen, not sure but we suspect the fox again! Rosie and Jim (the Hanbury school ducks) are still coming in a t night, too but they are now so huge we think they need to have a bit more exercise in the day - very chunky ducks!
Despite the glorious weather I keep hearing talk of Christmas around the place -- The gift shop are planning to put all their new stock out for a Preview night on the 13th of October - to coincide with "Pudding Night" - what could ladies want more than an evening of exclusive shopping followed by as many puddings as you can eat!
