About us: High Summer is Here

About us: We have endured a long wait for this weather & now it is finally here we will not take it for granted: tee shirts, sun cream (yes, suncream in North Wales)  home made lemonade with heaps of ice, sunglasses are all the order of the day here. Hafod Farm camp site we have been full, the cottages are using the garden furniture & a permeating smell of barbecuing hangs in the air morning, noon & night as our campers & guests make the most of our late summer.

News of the farm jalopy is not good, it is poorly sick & has had to have its head skimmed or something equally painful, anyway, after lots of work the final diagnosis is terminal for the poor old thing. We may have to get something practical & boring like a van which makes me sad.....I liked the quirks of the pick up & the fact that if I did have a little shunt up against a bollard you couldn't really tell because of the other knocks & bumps!!
Yesterday was the long awaited Eglwsbach show & we had a great stand opposite the main livestock ring & the Beer tent....perfect location as the sun made me quite thirsty. Here are the photos..    

About us: As I watch the rain falling...........

About us  I aim not to get wet in the mornings to avoid being wet all day....that's OK in theory, but I got my first soaking about 10am this morning putting campers on the field & have been dishevelled ever since. I have given up wearing any footwear other that my birkis as my feet get so wet, so often, it's not even worth trying to keep them dry!! It must be August then........  
Apparently wet weather is good for something......catching salmon, so Pete can be found on the river Conwy most evenings catching dinner we hope, as that will mean I won't have to go shopping !!  
Furniture wise we are full flow to make a range to take to the Eglwysbach show from chopping blocks to  wardrobes & everything in between we will be loading up the vintage horsebox & setting up our stand next Friday. Safest clothing choice will probably be wax jackets & hunter wellies....but we can always hope.
Thrill of the week.........seeing my dinner service on Agatha Chrisites Poirot .....I lead a very sheltered life!!
Achievement of the week........Selling a bed to 'Liberty' of London (my favourite shop in the whole wide world)
Moan of the week........Getting a £3000 water bill from Welsh Water, when I think we provide more water to them off our land than we are ever likely to use!!! maybe I should send them a bill !!

High of the week.........The lovely Strawberry daiquiris made by Donna which made me forget about the rain <3
