The New Year has begun and at last some dry weather! Hotel Honeyfield can go back to offering bed & breakfast only instead of full board as has been the case for the last week or so.

Before opening the doors we offered a few spa treatments i.e. toe nail trimming, bonnet tidy’s and a quick drink of fasinex to eliminate any chance of fluke in this wet period.

I say offered, really it was much more of an insist as none ...

I can’t believe it Friday again already, and not only that but we are half way through March already. Time sure never went this fast when I worked in an office.

My Sister and niece Scarlett visited the farm yesterday which was really nice. Scarlett is always guaranteed to put a smile on your face and yesterday she didn’t let us down. The farm may have looked like a tornado had just hit us, as she’s in to absolutely everything but you just ...

Just a short blog today, just enough to wish each and everyone of you a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year and to leave you with a quote.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

How quick everything changes.  Monday our local paper was proclaiming we were due to be the coldest place in the Country, with temperatures expected to feel as low as -12, to two days later having some warmth and lovely sunshine, who can fathom it 🙂

If we do have a glorious summer this year, I bet it will be the first time in UK history that no one will dare complain it’s too hot and we need some rain 🙂

As the ...

Christmas is now over and I’m shattered and looking forward to things getting back into our usual routine. It’s been really great seeing family and friends, but all these nights out are really telling, I think I’m getting old :0))

The Alpaca Hotel at Honeyfield has been fully booked over Christmas and looks set to be the same for the new year. The non stop rain has meant the alpacas have been kept inside the barn, for most of the festive ...

I’m very sorry to disappoint all of you out there, that were considering purchasing sessions at the Honeyfield Mud Spa for Christmas presents, but the service has had to be withdrawn due to climate issues beyond my control.

I am really sorry that this is such short notice but whilst poo-hoovering the paddocks this morning I noticed that my boots and the wheels of my hoover were clean.  Where had all the mud gone?

It has been replaced with giant pools of ...

I’m thinking of branching out, diversifying is the big key word in farming today and I think I’m suitably equipped to take advantage, especially in the current climate.

I have thoroughly researched my chosen venture on the internet and found that there are people out there that will pay good money for a session of what; we have plenty of, at Honeyfield Farm.

Further research has shown that there are many benefits which include helping to cure disorders like arthritis, rheumatism, skin ...

Today has been a day of preparation.  As we are approaching the New Year, decisions need to be made concerning the farm. That sounds very dramatic doesn’t it?

What I really mean is, in what order of importance I list the jobs, I have to give my poor over worked husband.  Don’t tell him that I that I have shown any sympathy for his job list else he will take advantage and I’ll never get them done :0))

The stud paddocks need ...
