Easter egg hunt

The hebden bridge camping Easter egg hunt begins at 12pm from the caravan at the site next to the new delight, Easter Sunday the bunny is coming to visit blackshaw head make sure your there to meet him.

Open Day

The Open Day was a real success due to all our friends, family and visitors (oh and the weather) we had a bit of a scare in the morning as it was blowing a gale and raining, actually blew the marquee down. So we had to reposition the band and some of the food into the pub, everyone was very accomodating. But at about 12pm the sun came out and the people starteed arriving, didnt really get going till about half one. Me and Sophie ended up in the caravan for nearly the whole time making a lot of cups of tea... but when we stuck our heads out there was all sorts of fun going on, face painting, card making, games on the grass, music and a very jolly vibe. We couldnt of been happier with the turn out and made £110 for the Blackshaw Head playgroup fund, partly through the raffle and the wishing tree (sophies mum dressed as a wizard) All in all a great day. Getting ready for our Easter egg hunt on the 24th April at 12pm, watch this space for more information.

Open day excitement

Well open day is here tomorrow, everyone has been working hard, I've been overwhelmed at friends and family. we have had so much help from everyone, richie the electrician has been a star along with his boys, barney has actually turned his hand to everything even in the aftermath of a serious crash last week he has still managed to help out:) dan has made a lovely log store, Martin and his Helpers putting up tents and painting. my mum has done a lot of child care, sponges ma has made lovely cushions and donated prizes. Hannah and mikey have come up trumps time and time again:)the list is endless and so are the jobs, can't wait to hear my dads band tomorrow and our friend jess singing with the funky five. Joe and Thea are coming along with their creative skills it's all very exciting.Richard the mole catcher and innovative sink installer. So tomorrow is going to be a big thank you to all our friends and the beginning of a wonderful season. Happy days:)

blog followers

Its very nice that we have some followers of the blog, at least now i don't feel like i'm talking to myself (Although i do occasionally find myself muttering on my own in a corner more and more these days). Went and did Ikea yesterday to get things for the shower room, now I need to convince Barney that tiling the floor in there is what he wants to do on saturday:) I'm off up to the site now to do more hedging, i'm finding it a rather relaxing thing to do, maybe we can offer it to city folk as a rustic workshop?? hum  

Getting close to launch day

The team have been getting their hands dirty, mole hills have been flattened, phone line is in so not long till the site has wireless internet. There still seems to be a lot on our to-do list but have now decided that we will do as much as poss for the open day and not get too worried as this is meant to be fun:) My mum started a really good little hedge with willow and hazel branches so hopefully they will withstand the weather. The open day is getting quite a lot of interest from people wanting to help, lots of offers of buns, scones and other yummies, free cider tasting and apple tree grafting. friends doing face painting and we have another band that want to play ( my dad is in it). Sophies mums has made some cushions for the caravan/shop/office which will soon be looking quite cosy once we get the water butt and tools out of it....    

busy busy weekend

The caravan is in place and sophie has been doing some diy with a saw, so most of the inside is now out... So the putting it back together starts this weekend along with painting the shower room and hopefully the electrics will be in. Got some lovely posters for the open day done by our friend Howard so i'll be picking them up today and sticking them everywhere.
