About us: After A Short Break- Back to Work

About us: It is always good to get back to the fabric swatches and paint samples after a few weeks off.
There have been some restoration projects going on in the workshop which take time (over a hundred years worth of grime to remove)
Other projects have been a vintage group of red & white spots on furniture and a pink set of  vintage bedroom furniture made to look pretty in 'Camomile' by Farrow & Ball. The blanket box has been lined with paper to match. A range of small crochet blankets has given a 'lived in' feel to one area of the showroom and because I ran out of floor space the eclectic mixture of chairs ended up hanging on the wall, where I quite like them.







On the Camp site the weather has not been kind to our campers (heating is still required) apart from the very hardy types. The mountain bikers are the only ones not complaining......they seem to prefer mud, to hard surfaces, perhaps for softer landings.

About us: Hafod Farm Summer Range In-House Designed & Made Free-standing Kitchen Furniture

About us: The workshop has been busy this week with our new range of free standing kitchen furniture, there is more to come & the waiting list is 6 weeks at the moment.
Pete & I are both flagging after a really busy Jubilee holiday and half term......we were full on the camp site & in the cottages so we are in after-shock-mode & sleeping for twelve hours per night, then, waking up and feeling tired !!




Next week will be given over to fun and outings as we will at last be able to make the most of Gautam being home, it's lovely to have him back.....

About us Jubilee Weekend at Hafod Farm




About us There is a lot going on here this weekend: We have about 200 Jubilee campers staying for the long weekend, the campsite looks lovely with bunting over many of the tents (i will post photos tomorrow)
Both holiday cottages are out to families & friends, the family have a visiting daughter over from New Zealand and the group of friends have had a charity challenge to climb 3 peeks in Snowdonia, over 3000ft within 24 hours, they failed in this as they had to come off Crib Goch in terrible weather in the early hours of this morning.
The cakes have arrived and everybody loves them.......thank you Jenny & Jo from the welsh cake company in Betws, I will post photos of the jubilee & daffodil cakes tomorrow because they are so beautiful.  
The big news however is that our son Gautam is currently on a flight home from school in India. We haven't seen him for 11 months so tomorrow will be a joyous day when he reaches Wales & we start our own celebrations!!!
