We would like to wish all our lovely guests a very Happy Christmas and a healthy new year, thank you for staying with us we really enjoy looking after you all.  It is so mild in this part of Wiltshire we seem to have all sorts of odd things out in the garden that should be tucked up in bed.  This morning on my travels around the village I saw narcissus out in someone’s garden?? Have they bought them in bloom and planted them or are they really blooming already.  Spent a good day last week walking and exploring this part of the Ridgeway National Trail to see how the route across Liddington can be improved particularly the part where it crosses the M4.

I took this photograph last year when we had snow and meant to make it into a Christmas card for this year, intentions are so good and then often forgotten!
