Well, the Spring Bank Holiday is here at last – and with it a
completed shower and toilet block!
After months of planning and hard work, we now have the finished
‘product’ and our guests have certainly felt the benefit of these
superb facilities.
Well done to ‘the gang’, (pictured) who managed to get it finished in
time for this busy weekend!
The water for the shower block is heated via solar panels and our
water is drawn from our own bore hole, so we doing ‘our bit’ for the
environment. Our bore hole is 300m down into the ground, and the water
is clean and tested – good enough for bottling, we think!
At the start of the week, all the cattle were moved up to the Top Dale
where the grass is lush and green, helped by Percy, Percy’s dad,
Faith, Jacob and Julia, ‘the farmer’s wife’!
All the cow sheds, now vacant of course, have been thoroughly power
washed and disinfected ready for storing the harvest grain later in
the year.
The crops have enjoyed their first drop of rain for some weeks and
while we’ve had a bit of rain over the weekend, all our visitors are
having a great time as the sun keeps making an appearance.
All of our guests have arrived for the campsite, while our cottage
guests are all ‘repeat’ customers. The campsite has a lot of regulars
and friends of friends who’ve been to Humble Bee before.
The children are enjoying our farm animals – the pigs, Shetland
ponies, hens and Spot and Charlie, the Jack Russells.
Everyone has been able to enjoy the fantastic farm walks we have – all
in all,
Humble Bee is a great place to beeee!
