Farming continues

We'll things should be quieter now, but since the new shed is going up probably on Monday, the shed preparations seem to be taking all the time. Since the Boscastle Flood I think more about storm/roof water drains so we've been putting them in. Picked 15 finished cattle aswell today. The holiday business is full at the moment but is quiet after mid October - things do go quiet at this time of year but normally half term does provide a peak.

Happy that harvesting is over

Harvest is over, so now we're turning our attentions to shed building, drains, landscaping and such. The Hotels Boscastle website seems to be going well for an experiment, getting a few hits from google and yahoo, which is good for the time of year I think. The Boscastle Information page definitely need more work, so maybe that will be the job for this weekend.

Boscastle is still dry

Well it stayed dry today, and probably will until Saturday at out Self catering business. This also meant that on the farm, we finished harvesting barley, always a good thing. 120 acres all safe, bales and stored.

Self catering season Change

Harvesting is going well, only a third left, and Sunday is a pleasant break.

Self catering changes at this time of year, the school holidays are over, and the cottages are predominantly filled with couples, taking in the more peaceful autumn in Cornwall. The weather is often fine and dry this time of year too and we're full upto the 17th October.

Self Catering Holiday Website Expansion

I've added new information section to my website, each helps to advertise the cottages and also aims to capture other markets who might like to change to self catering. Relevant titles are Boscastle Hotels, Bude cottages, Crackington Haven cottages, Launceston cottages, Tintagel cottages, Widemouth Bay cottages and surfing. Self catering accommodation is obviously our key market and our Location page near Bude and Tintagel has also been updated. For those interested, we now have a Thomas Hardy information page.

Can anyone tell, it's been raining this week, so instead of doing the much needed combine harvesting, I've been stuck looking at other thing!
