2nd November 2011

The clocks have now gone back, and you do feel winter is on its way.  Its still very mild. but there are massive amount of berries on the Hornthorns, which if,  old wife's tales are to be believed, we are in for a cold one!. I hope its not as cold as last year -15c.

We harvested all our lavender from around the courtyard. This needs to be completely dry before removing all the heads.  We then place the lavender heads into small embroided sacks to place in the guests rooms.

Today we went on a long walk from Barry to Aberthaw. It was beautiful day, lovely walk along very interesting coast line and passed the power station, which is Wale's largest polluter!  The walk took over 2 hours and we got picked up in Gileston by R D taxis.

When we got home on the news was all about a massive landslide at Porthkerry Caravan park, which we walk through. 5 Caravans nearly ended up in the sea. Luckily no one was injured.
