We hope your Christmas celebrations were wonderful, and you’ve welcomed in 2023 both happily and healthily! (We nearly manged healthily… colds came for us both with a vengeance this Christmas!)

Most things are quiet on the hill. Gwyn is happily scything away…and designing away!
We received as positive a feedback as we could expect from our pre-application. We’ve needed to have more surveys done to meet more planning policies – a tree survey, water and electric surveys… and so far it seems we don’t clash with the rest of the planning policy we’re applying under… though anything can happen when we submit the full application… so with some trepidation it’s full steam ahead to get it in by the end of this month.
Some of Gwyn’s developing sketches below… and Lauren’s imaginings!!

We’ve been enjoying other creative pursuits also… Lauren might try to set up some kind of shop this year… and Gwyn is continuing the alcohol and jam dream now our first cider is ready!

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda – Happy New Year to you – here’s hoping we get to see you all, enjoy some quality time together…and sample more fruits of the hill!

Gwyn + Lauren
