Is the Farend accommodation dog friendly?

Farend may be dog friendly but sadly our Border Collie can be very grouchy
with other dogs so we do not accept dogs at present.

It stopped long enough to cut the lawns, result. Now the sun is shining.

We haven't a well in the garden

the taps dry for a short time (we didn't know how long it would be).


Of course you would need to put your butt water into the elecric
kettle to boil it in case any larvae are in it,

?

What kind of larvae?

If it's anything like my grandparents' rainwater supply; mosquito
larvae, daphnia and wrigglers, a red hair-worm (When we opened the lid,
they all started darting about; of course there must have been many more
invisible to the human eye) All 3 are completely harmless if you
swallow them. I used to trawl for them with granny's seive, to feed them
to my fish.

Janet.

But our butts are securely covered, no animal life can get in them and since
they're dark plant life (e.g. algae) can't live in them either. Mosquito
larvae need open water, I'm never seen daphnia or 'wrigglers' even in our
pond. I wish I did ...

I have taken some more pics of the soggy garden - Mary it may make you
feel a bit better!

If you want to ....

Wish I could get some pics of the visitors, particularly the feathered
ones, but my camera cannot cope with the double glazing and I can't get
out without them scattering

Cheers

I can't open it :-(

Mozzie larvae?

The butts aren't open, mosquitoes need open water.

We have plenty of wood with which to make a fire but I reckon that
filtering
the water would make it usable.

Aah, I didn't know you filter, that should remove the larvae and bits.

We've never filtered to day. If we saw anything living in the water we
would.

People lived for millenia without treated water - they were our ancestors
:-)

Yes, it stopped long enough for spouse and No 1 son to take down a
neighbour's greenhouse, then it began again!

Beryl, your cakes are fabulous, do you do private commissions?

Your grandchildren are adorable, nearly as adorable as mine.

Thank you, I am pleased you have enjoyed looking at them. All my
cakes are private commissions.
I am not running as a business at present. I did when I was in
Morecambe, but moving to a new area where I knew no one [except my
daughter] killed that and of course then there are all the Health and
Safety regs with a very small kitchen and no way of building a utility
or work room.

However I do still do cakes for people who 'know' be by one means or
another [firend of a friend etc]. You can see some more if you fancy a
trawl through some of the Zetnet meetings as I ususally make one for
those, oh and Jennifer appears in some of those too

I currently have a wedding cake on the go [for the day after I leave for
two weeks holiday] together with an 18th for the same day! I really
enjoy it as it is my hobby so it gives me an opportunity to use the
skills I have and develope new ideas.

I am sure your grandchildren are adorable too - except when they have a
temper tantrum! The little one started the terrible two's at just over
a year old - still thinks she can do everything her big sister can
