January has been a quiet month for bookings so we have been busy deep cleaning Sutton Mawr and giving all the rooms a lick of paint. We have also been making a few changes to the website.
Group bookings are very popular for the year ahead.
We have our first wedding of the year on Saturday so all looking forward to that.
Off to the flower market tomorrow.

15th January Hobbs Bakery Course
Vicci went on a Hobbs House bakery course today. She decided last year as she had started making bread every morning for our guests to see if she could improve her baking skills. But the courses had a waiting list probably due to the fact that Tom along with Henry have been very busy with their new tv series on channel 4 Wednesday 8.30 pm The Fabulous Baker Boys, I have to admit to not seeing thwe first 2 episodes but will now be avidly watching! In the meantime I brought the hobb house bakery pack a complete home lesson with DVD which was great really easy to follow until I thought I had killed my sourdough starter. So when they rang to say they had a place I decided to go along for some bread advice. The day was very enjoyable and definately worth going to to really get to grips with the basics of bread making and give your confidence.
And hopefully our guests can look forward to some exciting new loafs on the breakfast table.
Watch out for Tom and Henry Herbert. Henry cooked a very delicous leg of jacob lamb for lunch the same breed we rear I urge you to try jacob lamb if you can it is quite special. Looking forward to going to the new Hobbs House Butcher Henry runs in Chipping Sodbury next time.

What a night! The wind was relentless. Our poor Christmas tree finally gave in..
It coincidently is twelfth night!
We have an Australian Family, the Positti's staying with us. They have been on tour for 8 weeks.around European. they have arrived in wet and windy Wales. They braved the mud and did a farm tour. They are probably missing the summer weather back home, but they are packing in the sights, and having great time.

28th December 2011
Hope you all had a great Christmas. it was a lot warmer than last year. It was minus 15 degrees and all our pipes had frozen. We had to carry all the water from the house to the animals. It was exhausting.
This year it's the opposite there is too much water! The pigs are walking in muddy soup, so I decided to build a new pig house in a paddock we haven't yet used.
It only took a couple of hours and I am really pleased with result. The pigs are very happy
Leonie and Cliff came to stay with us for a few days and they fell in love with Rosie s last puppy. We were so delighted they wanted her as they will spoil her and really look after her. I think they are going to call her Tiger Daisy.
The Parson gang have turned up to stay at Sutton Mawr for the New Year. They came last year, there are 14 of them and a few dogs.
