We have a very busy time of late with our B&B guests enjoying Exmoor in the lovely weather – walking, riding, cycling and general just relaxing from their busy lives. Sarah is completing her PhD and needed a break from her research. Sarah used to come Exmoor a lot with her parents and she bought Neil down to show him some of the beautiful places she visited.
Lizzie and Lawrence made a return trip to stay with us and on the Saturday while they were at Watersmeet, Lawrence proposed to Lizzie. He had planned everything from buying the ring to the surprise trip and the dinner in the evening at Reeves. Who says romance is dead?!
I had been doing some gardening in the front beds - (well a bit of weeding as Derek once said that my attempt at gardening was if a chicken had been scratching around). After that I decided that he could get on far better without my help! Soda does love to help when we are gardening as she potters around getting in the way by wanting to investigate EXACTLY where we are trying to work. She became very excited and kept on returning to the same place despite repeated attempts to get her out of the lavender. A little while later I discovered why. As I bought guests up the front door, there was Soda eyeballing a very beautiful 3ft long grass snake on the veranda! Unfortunately by the time I had got Derek with his camera the snake had gone but Derek did manage to find him curled up in the plants and take this photo.
A dear little baby wren flew into the conservatory and Derek managed to get a quick photo of him before he was put outside.
