We are family of 4, we loved the location, peace and quiet. It is a small farm with animals, so kids loved helping to feed the chickens, goats and sheep. Mary and Martin were so friendly and welcoming. They answered numerous questions our boys had and nothing was too much to ask. It really was a magical holiday we didn't know we needed. Will definitely come again. P.s. Hello to George and Millie (gorgeous dogs that kept the kids entertained).

Nothing, everything was as advertised.

A magical overnight stop with everything we needed!

The warm welcome from Mary was wonderful. My son loved hearing all about the animals on the smallholding. The accommodation had everything we needed - including a hob to cook our tea on, a fridge and all crockery and cutlery. The bathroom was clean and the shower was powerful. We used the sofa bed and found it comfortable and a perfect fit for the space!

Loved it, would be back should the need arise to be in the area

This is so cute and cozy, it’s so well thought out, can’t believe the facilities in a small space. Everything you need and spotlessly clean. The hosts are wonderful, so accommodating and friendly and we enjoyed meeting the animals. Would be back in a heartbeat

Have any of our followers ever grown pumpkins?

Earlier this year I found a self set young plant in our polytunnel. Didn't have a clue what it was, but it looked very like a courgette plant.

So considering it had made it that far I felt it deserved a chance to stay and grow, so left it there and promptly forgot about it.

Moving on a few months, during which time I notice the odd big leaf pop through cabbages, beans and tomatoes until it eventually made it to the clear central path. It even had a couple of golf ball size fruits appear which I had never seen on a courgette plant but it promptly got hidden by it's own leaves, so again I just stopped it going further and let it stay in residence.

I then noticed a couple of football size green ' water melons'.

Anyway as most other vegetables had finished I hadn't been in for a while, so when I did the melons had turned orange 😅.

On clearing spent vegetation I have now found 6 large and 1 small 🎃 😂😂

This morning I glanced through the window and to my surprise we now have the makings of an Olympic swimming pool right on our doorstep.
I am a little concerned that all the rain dancing everyone has been doing for us at Mardi Gras Upwell has gone a little 'topsy turvey'

Today has been a happy/sad day.

Our last 2 babies of this years kids left for their new home.
While I am sad to say good bye to them and will miss their cheeky antics, I am super happy they have moved to a lovely new home where I'm sure they will be loved and spoilt by their new family. They will be joining another slightly older boy to play with who recently lost his friend so needs cheering up.
They have already met their new pen mate through a fence and now have proper names instead of being 'hi baby boys'.

Neville and Nerris have fun and enjoy yourselves 💙💙
