Would have loved to be at Vegfest in Bristol, but am very happy here, being busy!  We have availability  from Friday 3rd June onwards, when I think the weather forecast is looking good...

Velvet is happy too, in her empty food bag!

Velvet is growing so fast!

Availability - we are booked up all over Easter and the Wedding weekend. We have availability during the week between the two Bank Holidays, from Monday 25th until Friday 29th April. Have a great Easter.

I am Maru - The stunt cat (the melophonic remix)

We are enjoying excellent weather at present, and have some availability.  Don't forget our three for two offer, which ends on Saturday 16th April, three nights for the price of two, two people, evening meals included, £245 for an en-suite room. What a bargain!

Velvet

A friend of mine is seeking an animal loving person who would like to look after her cat when she occasionally goes away and also feed the birds (which she doesn't chase !). She's nearly 16, very sweet, rather shy, very healthy .


House is in Boscastle, easy and comfortable, centrally heated, modern house at the top of the village.

there would be time to explore the area and have a free mini holiday!

More specifically, she is seeking someone(s) for this coming weekend, Friday 18th - Monday 21st February.

if you are interested for this weekend, or in general for the future, please contact me Vanessa, in the first instance, on info@michael-house.co.uk, and give a contact number/email, and I will pass them to Trish to contact you.  I have met Amber, she is a sweet cat!

Valentine Weekend

We still have some availability over the weekend just prior to Valentine's Day, as well as some over the half term holiday.

We may well have a new member of the family by then.  We have arranged to adopt a sweet collie (pos with a bit of spaniel as well).  Al;though it is very soon after Sky died, and we still miss her enormously, if we did not take on a new dog now we would not have the time to devote to settling her and training until the autumn.  Berri is missing his playmate too, so we have decided to take the plunge now!  I tried to load photos of her from the rescue site, but was not able to.  Doubltless there will be many to follow!

Today the weather was fantastic.  After days of rain, fog, wind, even thunder, the last couple of days have improved dramatically.  Sunny, still, clear, frosty at first.  We took the dogs to the beach.  Berri loved it as always, and even Barney had a run around.  Berri does seem slightly subdued, we think he is missing his playmate.  Although he played with other dogs on the beach, he did not do so as eagerly as I had anticipated.  the beach is his favourite place.  It was fairly empty, but there were some people, and plenty of dogs there!  The photo was not taken today, but everything was similar, although these were probably taken in the summer.

Sky

Yesterday was a very sad day.  We had Sky, our adored blue merle collie, put to sleep.  She had been ill for a few weeks, and the time was right.  But, it was almost unbearable, and the rest of the day, I was just desperate for her to be with us.

Today, I feel a little stronger, and more able to remember the good times and the joy she brought us.

Sky doing what she loved best.  She was 15, a very good age.

We have availability for the New Year period.  Just email or ring if you are interested in coming down. 

I wonder if we will ever have echiums here again?  They all look very sad after the cold weather, well, mainly dead!  I am still hopeful for  a few, and we have some in the polytunnel, which look OK, but will poke right through the roof when they flower!

WEATHER OUTLOOK: Thursday to Saturday


Mostly dry Thursday with some sunshine. but a cold northerly breeze. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, dry with some sunshine and lighter winds, but remaining very cold and frosty.

So, that looks OK for our guests over Christmas.  currently, very beautiful, sunny, cold, still no snow here.  Are we the only place in the UK without snow?  It is to the west of us, as well as loads to the east, just not here!

We still have availability over the New Year period.  I guess people who are considering going away over New Year are waiting to see what the weather looks like, so last mintue bookings will be absolutely fine!  there is only the tiniest amount of snow (well, more like hail if you look closely at it, and I think it has all gone now anyway!) here, so no problem with the roads at present.

no snow here sadly!  I love snow, and know that lots of people who do not have plenty!

Please think of Sky, our lovely blue merle collie, she is not very well at present, hopping around on three legs and it may be something nasty, will know soon.  She is enjoying herself, playing ball a little,  but is clearly in pain without pain relief.  She is 15, so I know she will not be here forever, but it is still very difficult.
