Lesley, both her boys and her Mother Evelyn stayed at Orchard Barn Dartmoor over Christmastide and we all spent 4 happy days together enjoying much laughter, Mulled Wine, singing Carols and generally having fun.

Nobody over indulged (stand fast excessive consumption of Baileys by someone who’ll remain nameless!!!) – I got a brilliant squirrel- proof bird feeder from the Boys and a radio controlled helicopter from Lesley which will no doubt keep me amused for hours when it warms up a tad!!

We’ve all enjoyed the colder weather and ‘Holed Up’ with everything we needed for self sufficiency over the festive season……………The joy of Christmas certainly came to us all this year, our first of many together.

Cheers and Happy Christmas to one and all
