Getting ready for the first guests of the season!

The first guests of the glamping season will be with us this weekend and we have spent some quality time putting our yurts back on their bases after the winter break.  We are also looking forward to some nice fine weather this weekend if a little cool - nice to have wood burning stoves lit.  The good news is that our recent planning application has now been approved by South Hams District Council so we are celebrating our 4th year as a permanent seasonal "glamping" site.  We always strive to meet and exceed the expectations of our guests and we are hoping that 2015 will be our best year yet.  I have read today on the internet (it must be true) that Easter is going to be 80 degrees and we are going to have the hottest summer ever which is brilliant news for all the guests who have already made their reservations.  This is the quote today from the Express online - fingers crossed they have it right this year!

 "The ENTIRE country will bake in the fiercest April temperatures for years out-scorching Spain, Greece and even North Africa, according to some forecasts.Early long-range models show a freak set of conditions due to come into play at the start of next month will trigger the long-awaited heatwave.

Thermometers are expected to tip the 80F mark in time for Easter which is on course to beat the historic scorchers of 1984 and 2011.

An unusually wavy jet stream will drag swathes of scorching air in from the Continent while high pressure will see Britain bask in blue skies and sunshine.

The sizzling prediction ties in with suggestions this summer is on course to be a super-scorcher putting even The Great Heatwave of 1906 in the shade. 

Blistering heat lasted a week and with the mercury rocketing past 90F for four days it is considered the severest of the 20th century.

Experts say things will start to heat up in just a few weeks thanks to the “wildly deviating” jet stream and warmer ocean temperatures in the Pacific"
