Exciting stuff......

We have just had an exciting launch day .. This time we are offering guests not only to come and stay but to offer Country Workshops too. They will start in the Spring. We are putting these together with some very talented people. Tricia Hutchinson from Real Staithes who will do an Ancient Woodlands Dye,Make and Create course.and you will take home a linen Tricia wrap. A chocolate day is already set for all those ambitious chocolatiers of you wanting to make Easter eggs for April 1st. This is no joke even though it is on April Fools Day. We are also really excited to have on board Derry Brabbs who will have you taking photographers within the North York Moors National Park. One of England's best. Derry Brabbs is regarded as one of England’s finest photographers with thirty illustrated books to his credit. This is a fantastic opportunity to spend a day improving your photography skills with someone who has a truly intimate knowledge of the ‘Herriot Country’ landscape. The project is supported by the NYMNP and Catriona McLees came along with Susan Briggs from Tourism Network. Sarah Barrowby represented Welcome 2 Yorkshire and Anne Jacques you see in the photo took a well deserved hour or 2 off after their hectic time from Wold Way Lavender. My Dad was here to keep his eye on things and Jack was a great support as usual making sure everyone was looked after and kept the fire burning. I snapped him on a rare moment when he was sat down.
