Yesterday morning we went round to the log shed with the RTV an stocked up on logs for the cottages. We stacked them under the stairs in each cottage with a liberal supply of lighting wood and firelights. Our guests love their fires. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ In the countryside, one of our real pleasures is going out for a walk in all weathers and then getting back by the fireside for a warm up and a cup of our favourite hot chocolate, coffee or tea. Talking of coffee, we roast our own coffee beans and have an ancient coffee grinder that perfectly prepares the beans for expresso or cappuccino. Another indulgence, but a simple one that to us makes life here at Bwlch Tre Banau such a great experience. This morning we are off out to Orangery for a quick polish up (hopefully the Robin that resides in there has been not too messy. If you are lucky he will fly down and perch on a handrail and give you a stirring song - he is quite fascinating, not in the least shy.
