Busy summer

They say that time flies when you are enjoying yourself and this summer has flown by and I only just realised today that its been a long time since I updated this blog.  The summer has been exceptionally busy at the camp.  The weather has been on the whole pretty good, with warm temperatures and lovely clear nights.  This week has seen some drizzle and humidity and with sunset around 8.30pm the nights are drawing in.  We have been very fortunate in having some lovely guests staying an enjoying camp fires, views over the meadow, and lots of wildlife activity with plenty of birds, insects, bats and of course our horses and poultry.  We have had to date around 900 people stay with us since we were able to reopen fully in May and we are still taking bookings for the rest of this season.  The swallows are starting to gather on the telephone wires and they usually depart for their journey back to Africa for the winter in the last week of August.  The climate change we have been experiencing may dictate their departure date and its been lovely and warm today with some hot sunshine when the cloud breaks.
