A very Merry Christmas

That's all folks!!!! A very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all our readers!!

Just myself and Stuart this year. Goose breast, roasted potatoes in goose fat. I bought myself 3 HUGE brussel sprouts which are a no-no for Stuart. And Creme Brulee. Yum. I've installed Skype so at 7am tomorrow morning I'll be able to see my mum and dad at my sisters house.

All the very best for 2 0 1 5. Please come back to visit.

Decking gets a polish!!

I was away this last week in LA Monday thru Wednesday. While I was away, Stuart and Danny set to and repainted the pool decking and the pool and spa coping. When I came back on Wednesday, it was almost done

. It looks spectacular  especially as nobody has moved the sun beds  - yet!! All ready for the 'season'. A very professional job,guys. Saved us thousands!!

And here's a picture of our fireplace!!

Flowering cactus

Well, Christmas is nearly upon us with it's usual merry cheer. There have been a few things going on here at the Inn, not least was the flowering of one of our tall cacti near the pool outside #1. It was spectacular. It took forever to flower; it just grew and grew and grew!! Then, pow!!! Burst into flower which lasted a few days. Other cacti have had buds but didn't flower. As dear old Gracie Fields sang about her aspidistra "oh, what a big one. I've never seen one as big as that before .............. !!!" Oh, what a beauty it must be six feet tall or even more!!!" LOL
