News 2010 News 2009 Building The Yurt Farm
February 1st
After a long wait for some cold weather the ground was finally hard enough today for us to move The Love Train into position. It sits on a platform on the side of a long bank so it isn't exactly the easiest spot to put a 3 ton train carriage. Lucky with my dad on the tractors and some gentle manoeuvring and persuading we brought it down the hill and into position in a couple of hours. Here's a few pictures of the carriage's journey.......
January 24th 2012
I've been playing around in the workshop making windows for The Love Train. The views of the mountains from the train will be amazing so we wanted to make the most of this by putting in lots of windows. They are simply but solidly made and one will open out the back with a view of the trees. With a bit more sawing and sealing with Osmo oil, the windows will be ready to go in next week. We're off to Devon at the weekend to put up a huge timber framed barn that we helped make last year. Hopefully the sun will shine!
January 19th 2012
We managed to get the rubber roof oncarriage this week so it is almost ready for the turf. We have put some really nice steel gutters on the carriage so it's starting to feel like we're more finished than not.
The floor in the carriage came up nicely with a sand and a couple of coats of Osmo oil. I'm making some windows to pop in next week using timber from Steve Gates, our local saw mill. It will be good to get some natural light inside the carriage again.
January 8th 2012
Last week Jan and I insulated and then laid a wooden floor in 'The Love Train'. We used reclaimed narrow beech flooring, all the floor needs now is a good sand, some skirting and finishing.
January 4th 2012
Happy New Year!
We've had a fun winter which started with packing the yurts away and storing them dry before we put them up again in the spring. We carried on working as soon as possible converting the old train carriage into The Love Train. This will be a new place for guests to stay, it will sleep 2 adults with a pull-out bed for little ones. There will be a new page on our website soon with more details.
The pictures show us steam bending the wood to make the curved rafters and then cladding the roof. We have used sheep's wool insulation all round so it will be really cosy. Mossy and Wren enjoyed playing around on the soft roof! The roof will then be covered with turf so that it will have lots of flowers and grasses growing on it by the summer, maybe even a strawberry or two.
The roof was made watertight just before Christmas so that we could start work cladding the interior. You can get an idea of how it might look inside from the photo. There will be a nice big bed at one end and a woodburner at the other with lots of windows looking out over the Cambrian Mountains.
Tomorrow we'll begin laying the floor with reclaimed boards from a dance studio. I'll show you how it looks in a few days!
Tuesday 4th October - Laurie
Setting up The Yurt Farm was a really busy time but i didn't quite appreciate how much easier it was to do things without having to entertain children and run a business at the same time. Anyway, after 2 years we are beginning to make good progress on the train carriage, aka The Love Train, even with little Mossy and Wren helping!
Today Jan and I made up the first timber wall to go in the carriage and temporarily put it in place. It was great to see what it might look like when finished.
After much umming and arrring Thea and I decided to paint the carriage good old post box red, i think it's turned out alright?!
Wednesday 28th September
We had a team from Visit Wales staying last night. They filmed their stay for a video that will be on their website soon...watch this space!
We put on a big massive breakfast made nearly all from organic produce fresh from the farm. It was cooked over the campfire with the mountains in the background. After arriving in the dark, all our guests were filmed as they woke up and explored their new surroundings.
Wednesday 21st September
Autumn has definately arrived with the leaves starting to change colour and fall off the trees in the wind. The yurts stood up really well to the tail end of the hurricane last week, luckily we missed the worst of it.
On my way up from the yurts this evening i looked back and a huge rainbow had swept over the yurt field as the last drizzle of the day cleared. I rushed up to the house to get a camera but it had gone, it was a beauty though!
We are busy working on The Love Train whenever we get a chance and the sun is shining. We been making lots of noise getting all the rust off and getting some coats of paint on. It is going to be painted post box red as soon as the sun shines again, then work can begin on the wooden walls, floor and roof.
We were on the TV a couple of weeks ago but you can still catch us online by clicking the link below. It's on S4C so click the subtitles if your Welsh isn't up to scratch! We're 25 minutes into the program.
Tuesday 23rd August - Laurie
Here's a great little video that one of our guests this summer has just made, thank you Mark
By the way... the pizza oven is working really well. We've just had pizza night and everyones pizza cooked in under 2 minutes, amazing and great fun!
Sunday 14th August
The big news is that we have a brilliant new pizza oven.... Thea's family stayed in the yurts for a week so we took the opportunity to finally make the pizza oven. With lots of feet and hands covered in clay we made a fine looking pizza oven in an afternoon. We cooked pizzas in it over the next two days and they tasted amazing, the best I've ever had. The oven is beside the cabin for you all to use when you come and stay, enjoy!
Sunday 31st July - Laurie
At last... we've started work on the train carriage. It has been sitting outside our house for nearly 2 years waiting for us to have a moment to start on it. Work finally got underway on Wednesday building the internal framework for the walls. I will pop up more images as the project progresses and make a new page on our website for it soon.
My dad found a tiny little leveret sunning itself amongst the potatoes. He had noticed that quite a lot of the vegetables had been nibbled in the field, cheeky monkey!
We have got some of these lovely plants growing around the edges of the yurt field. We think they are narrow tipped helleborines.
We've just been to see our yurt makers and have asked them to make us a replacement yurt 21ft to go in the bottom field. We are replacing it for a number of reasons but the new yurt will have a white canvas and an ash frame. It will be ready for all our guests the next year.
Thursday 14th July - Laurie
What a perfect summers day it has been.
The sun has shone since sunrise with no clouds in the sky. I chopped a whole trailer full of logs to replenish the woodshed while Thea went off with Mossy and Wren to find a gorsy place to put her bee hives. They found a lovely spot down the valley for the bees so we may get a jar or two next year, fingers crossed.
The grass has been cut, baled and made into silage today, ready for the cow's winter feed. Dad is still whizzing around collecting the last of the bales to be wrapped. Mossy and Wren had a great time watching the bales pop out of the baler and then jumping on them.
I went fishing off Aberystwyth on Tuesday and caught lots of mackerel and a pollock for our tea. It's a lovely thing to do if you get the chance when you come to stay.
Thursday 9th June - Laurie
We have got some brilliant new Dutch ovens for everyone to use over their campfires. Kate and Mark and their boys made a juicy lamb stew and cooked it over their campfire as the sun went down. They also barbequed juicy mackerel they caught on a boat ride from New Quay.
We had S4C filming the yurts and the farm on Tuesday for a gardening program called "Byw yn yr Ardd". You can see Thea and I showing off the best bits of The Yurt Farm in a few weeks....I'll let you know when we're on!
A redstart and a woodpecker are busy nesting in trees around the farm. The woodpecker has made a large hole in an ash tree along the track and it's young chirp loudly we wander past. The redstart is on the farm flying boldly around with it's mate back and forth from its' nest. Unfortunately my photo of it only looks like a blurry speck amongst the leaves.
Just in case you were wondering, all the cows calved successfully outside and had 5 heifers and 4 bull calves in total.
Friday 13th May - Thea and Laurie
The cows started calving 2 weeks ago so their are lots of little red and white calves hiding in the fields. So far we have had 3 heifers and 3 bull calves, all born healthily in the field beside the yurts.
A big congratulations to Tracy and Dean who came back again this year and gave our brilliant new stoves a thorough testing. They lit their stove on Friday and kept it going all the way through the weekend until they left on Monday without relighting it. Well done!
Our piglets are getting bigger by the day, very soon they will be bigger than Mossy and Wren although i don't think this will bother our little ones at all.
We built a new chicken house this year so that we could have more chickens around the yurts and therefore lots more eggs for all the children to find. The chickens are loving their new home and the eggs hardly touch the nest before our keen guests race back to cook them up in their yurts. The simple things are always the best.
Monday 9th May - Laurie
We were walking around the farm on Saturday showing some of guests around when a big hare popped out of the hedge and started to nibble on the beans by the polytunnel. He then lolloped off through the field with big bouncy steps...a lovely sight.
Our piglets are growing quickly now and are enjoying rooting around a big oak tree in the field next to the yurts... hopefully the squirrels didn't eat all the acorns that they are hoping to find!
Wednesday 20th April - Laurie
The meadow is a sea of yellow dandelions, Thea wants to make some wine because we have so many. The PV solar panels have been making lots of energy with all the glorious sun we are having and the solar showers are piping hot, it couldn't be better!
Friday 15th April - Laurie
We are now in our 3rd year as yurt farmers and have been welcoming new and returning guests back to our yurts. The field is looking really good this year with the trees and fruit bushes we planted finally starting to put their roots down. The hedges are full of white blossom just before everything turns green once again.
The picnic tables i made over the winter have already had lots of use. They are great for having breakfast on while watching the sun coming up behind the mountains.
The cows are now your new neighbours in the field beside the yurts. They will begin calving over the next few weeks. Fingers crossed that some lucky yurters will get to see a calf being born.
We have picked up our new piglets which are running around in the other field next to the yurts. They are wild boar crosses and have already proved to be brilliant escape artists. They got out almost straight away and then had a great time running around the yurts before finally tiring themselves out enough so that we could catch them (thank you The Evanses!). They are a bit camera shy but i’ll try and get a photo soon.
Thursday 25th March - Laurie
Our camera is broken so i will put up a few photos very soon, but in the meantime, here's what we have been up to.....
All of this lovely weather has been perfect for getting the yurts, field and cabin ready for the beginning of April. The yurts are looking great. We have fitted the new stoves and also put in some new hearths which i have made from ash wood off the farm and tiles from Bill, up the road.
Thea has designed a brilliant new chicken house which we have now finished building. The chickens are laying lots of eggs so all the children who come to stay can keep busy by collecting the latest fresh eggs.
We have planted lots more fruit bushes and trees around the field this year. It will be really satisfying to see them growing damsons and plums soon, and even more satisfying to eat them!
Sunday 6th March - Laurie
The first lambs of the year were born yesterday. Mossy found the new born twins amongst the trees. As you can see they look nice and healthy. The cows went back outside to graze in the fields yesterday which always makes them really excited.
We will start putting up our yurts this week as the weather is dry and sunny.
Thursday 2nd March - Laurie
I have just finished making the long awaited picnic tables that we will put beside everyone's yurts. The are made from strong Douglas Fir timber so will last a long time and hopefully make many people comfy. I am now trying to find some environmentally friendly preservative to put on them to stop the rain working its' way in.
Friday 25th February - Laurie
We picked up four new stoves for our yurts a few weeks ago. They were made for us in the UK by a great company down in Devon called Windy Smithy. These stoves are much more efficient than are previous ones and will keep the fires in all through the night. It isn't long know till they get used for the first time when we open at the beginning of April... lets hope we don't have restock the woodshed so much this year!
Wednesday 1st February - Laurie
Its been cold and dry for the last few days so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to refill the woodshed ready for the season ahead. It is always a fun thing to do and we all get involved splitting logs, chucking them in the trailer and stacking them in the shed. The wood will be perfectly seasoned and ready for burning come April.
Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Laurie
A very belated Happy New Year!
Whilst being snowed in for most of the Christmas holidays we finally had plenty of time to update our website with more pictures and information about the yurts and the farm.
Work is starting on converting our old train carriage, i will put a new page on the website soon so you can follow our progress. We don't have a date yet for its completion but we will work really hard to get it ready for the summer if possible.
Monday 20th December - Laurie and Thea
All the fields are under a thick layer of the snow and my dad is busy feeding all the animals and making sure they have enough water as all the pipes are frozen. Luckily we got all our yurts down in plenty of time before the snow came and they are now stored away ready for next year. The blankets are all out airing so they will be fresh for next year.
We have all been out sledging. Mossy and Wren absolutely love it and have big fixed grins when they go zooming down the hills.
Thea and I have been slowly ticking off jobs that need to be done for next season. Very soon we will have a page on our website of your holiday pictures at the Yurt Farm. Please send us any good ones that we can put up.
Saturday 23rd October - Laurie
Two new pigs arrived at The Yurt Farm a few weeks ago and Mossy has decided to call them Butter and Marmite. Wren can watch them for hours but the pigs, two young boars, are more interested in eating and ploughing up the ground.
We are now in the last week of our season which has been a really fun and busy one. Next April, when we start again seems a long way away but we are already taking bookings. Thank you to everyone for coming to stay this year and supporting what we are doing. Every week has always been different with new yurters arriving, new jobs to do and the constantly changing weather to keep us on our toes. We have not been bored once!
Saturday 2nd October - Laurie & Thea
What a busy August and September its been. We're just recovering from my sisters 30th birthday party on the farm which was a great success.
We are excited to see what our friend Nick will go on to do next after he spent the summer working with us. He managed to catch up on lots of the little jobs that needed doing, like making the herb box fridges, seats for the campfires, a washbasin by the toilets, endless wood chopping, painting the farm buildings and lots more. A huge thank you Nick!
Its harvest time and the vegetable shop is at its fullest, packed with sumptuous bounty from the field. There are huge squash, chunky broccoli, fat leeks, juicy fresh sweetcorn and a freezer full of lamb and beef.
Tuesday 10th August - Laurie
Its been a busy month so far. Nick has made a new sink which is now beside the compost toilets. Fittingly, it's made from unused pieces of the toilet's timber frame. We've made a whole set of seats for to lie back around the campfire. The grass has been cut and the silage has been made on the farm. The Red Kites were soaring and diving around the yurts looking for a fresh morsel on the newly mown field.
Friday 30th July - Laurie
On our walks down to the yurts early each day, Thea and I have been regularly seeing a lolloping hare slowly making its way across the fields. My dad then found one of the hare's tiny leverets hiding amongst the lettuces in the vegetable field,, thank fully it hadn't gobbled too many up.
This picture of one of the farms meadows was taken just before a big rain shower. The large drooping beech tree hedges provided the perfect shelter from the brief but amazing shower.
Friday 16th July - Laurie
Our friend Nick has joined us for the summer to help us catch up a few jobs. Despite Mossy and Wrens best efforts they are not quite able to join in yet...i'm sure it won't be too long though. So, instead, Nick has been making some handsome herb box fridges. We are now ready to try out our first one, I'll put up a picture when its full of herbs and flowers.
A week of rain has given the grass and yurts a good soaking but everyone has remained dry, chirpy and toasty warm in their yurts. Our firewood store will need replenishing as soon as the sun shows its face, which wont be too long in coming i hope.
Wednesday 23rd June
We were on S4C Ffermio on Monday which we think went quite well. You can watch the program online at S4C, subtitles are available.
Saturday 5th June - Laurie
What a lovely week. The school holidays are nearly over and the children staying have all been having lots of fun together. They have been running around in the sun, swinging on the rope swing and seeing how many people it is possible to squish onto to the slide. The simplest things are usually the best.
Sunday 23rd May - Laurie
I picked up our pigs on Tuesday and they have now settled into their new home in the field beside the yurts. They are sharing the field with the cows and seem to have become the best of friends. After a lenghty discussion they have been named Truffle and Mr T.
The farm shop is full of strawberries which have been keeping all the children happy and a little bit messy.
Sunday 25th April - Thea and Laurie
After almost 3 weeks of sunshine and dry weather we finally got some rain last night. It was just what the plants needed. Our little renewable powerstation has been performing really well and keeping everyones showers toasty.
Our yurt makers Sarah and Steve 07791569175 modified our larger green yurt during the week and it now looks even more amazing. The internal support poles are gone and we have now have a curvier looking roof and it feels really spacious inside.
Monday 12th April - Laurie
The chickens have been enjoying their first full day down in the yurt meadow. We've made some changes to their pen after unsuccessfully trying to keep the chickens safe from foxes last year. So far so good. All 3 chickens have laid eggs in the hen house... i hope our guests enjoy finding and cooking them up over the campfire.
Wednesday 7th April - Laurie
What a lovely day, the sun came out and the yurt meadow filled with children flying kites, playing football and running around. It was just perfect.
Tuesday 6th April - Laurie
Our first guests are happily snuggled down in their yurts. We have been blessed with lots of rain and wind over the last week which our yurts have stood up to well. Last night we were awake listening to the wind howling and worrying about our guest only to find them all chirpy this morning after a soothing nights sleep. The new extension to the cabin is working really well at keeping the weather at bay, i'll pop a photo up tomorrow of it all finished.
We are very happy to be featured in the new edition of Cool Camping Wales, it's a big honour to us to be recognised and reviewed in this popular book.
Also, we are featured in the Time Out "Our favourite sites in Britain" book in which they give us a brilliant review and
with lots of great pictures. Thank you.
Thursday 18th March - Thea
We made it....all the yurts went up in the sunshine.and we are now getting excited about welcoming our first visitors of the year. Laurie is making a beautiful oak table to go under the covered area by the cabin...and our friend Dan (who makes lovely mugs) is going to help us make a pizza oven to go there too. I can almost taste the summer!
We can't sit down to a meal without being distracted by a lamb being born in the yard. There are two fresh bull calves in the field and more due any day. Mossy and I spotted a blue tit darting into a nest box in the garden on our way to post some letters. Laurie saw a hare in the yurt field and Matt and Suzanne saw a weasel this morning..spring is on the way!
Thursday 11th March - Laurie
The sun has been shining for nearly 2 weeks so we've been very fortunate to have done lots of outside jobs in the dry. The yurts are going up this weekend so we have been giving the framework a spring clean and a fresh coat of linseed oil.
The first calf of the year was born today, a fine Hereford bull calf that Mossy couldn't wait to see. The cows will continue to calve over the next few weeks so some of our early guests might get to see a really fresh one. Lambing is going really well and keeping Matthew and Suzanne busy, there's usually a noisy new set of twins to wake up to every morning.
The cabins extended covered area is now complete, all i need to do is find some wood in the shed to make a big table for it.
Thursday 5th March - Laurie
We've nearly finished building the new timber framed extension to make a bit more space for everyone to relax in. There will be a table and seats so you can enjoy a meal while the sun sets. Fingers crossed we should have it finished over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the first lambs of the season have been born, we had triplets this morning! And it looks like the cows are about to start calving.....a feeling of spring is in the definitely in the air.
Saturday 20th February - Laurie
After the winter wind made a mess of our old woodshed, we decided to build a new one. Thea's dad Jan joined me last weekend to turn a lovely pile of Ian Hedges douglas fir into a big dry shed for this years yurt wood. All we have to do now is chop and move the big pile in front of the shed inside.
We were featured in the Saturday Telegraph Magazine a few weeks ago. Click here to see what they thought.
Tuesday 9th February - Laurie
We''ve spent the last two days planting some more trees in the yurt field and creating a new hedge around the parking area. It is a perfect time to plant them while the ground is moist and the weather is dry.
I've been digging in some steps down to our 21ft yurt to make it easier to reach. Whilst doing this i saw that our badgers have been very busy rooting around this winter. Hopefully someone will be lucky enough to see some this year.
Sunday 31st January - Laurie & Thea
It's been an exciting month, Mossy has a lovely new baby brother called Wren. Luckily he waited for the snow to clear before he arrived. On the same day 7 yellow chicks hatched although we didn't see them for days whilst the mum kept them warm in her feathers.
Work starts tomorrow on setting up the yurt site once again, as there are a few burst pipes to fix, doors to sand and an outdoor extension to the cabin to build. We're both really excited and motivated about the new season.
And lastly, The Yurt Farm will be featured in this coming Saturday's Telegraph 'Travel Section', we look forward to reading it.
Thursday 31st December - Laurie & Thea
The sun is shining and the hills are glowing with a good layer of snow, what a lovely end to the year.
We both wanted to say a big Happy New Year to everyone who has stayed, is coming to stay and has supported and helped us in making 2009 so special.
We will both be getting busy again in the New Year working off the last of the christmas dinners so will have lots of exciting news to tell you about.

Monday 16th November - Thea
Laurie and I are delighted that the yurt farm has won the ‘Muddy Boots’ travel award from the 'The Oldie' magazine. We want to thank all our friends, family and visitors for making our first year so successful and so much fun...winning this award is the icing on the cake.
We have a busy winter ahead of us. Luckily we put a new roof on the cabin just before the first of the winter storms arrived. As soon as we get a dry spell the yurts will be taken down and stored under the new roof. We have Mossy's little brother or sister due to arrive on St Dwynwen's day, the Welsh saint of lovers and friendship, January 25th. And we have a beautiful old train carriage to turn into a quiet comfortable space for couples to stay next year.
Saturday 3rd October - Laurie
Two months have flown by since my last news and lots has happened so i've put up a couple more photos than usual. Our first summer has come and gone with a sprinkle or two of rain but our happy yurters have really enjoyed themselves, having an advetnture while living off grid in a quiet meadow looking out onto the Cambrian mountains. Thea and I are so happy to have had such lovely people staying, we wish that some of you didn't have to go!
One of the nicest things has been to see all the children making new friends, splashing in muddy puddles and running around the fields together. This year we have taken everyone who has wanted to around the farm to see all the animals, vegetables and to collect eggs. The cows have really enjoyed being fed fresh carrots everyday, it makes a change from grass.
The farm shop is bursting full of vegetables and meat from our farm, its amazing to see what can be produced from the land. My pigs, Smokey and Streaky have now become the most tasty sausages and burgers i have ever eaten (i would say that though)... you will have to try some when you come and stay! We cooked up lots of burgers for our open day and raised lots of money for the local school to buy some science equipment for the children. Thank you to everyone who came.
Next year is looking really exciting because we have got a really fun project in the pipeline, a new arrival for you to stay in at the yurt... watch this space for exciting news. Talking of new arrivals, Thea and i have got another baby on the way aswell so we're going to have a very busy winter!
Sunday 2nd August - Laurie
Here is the cabin and compost toilets very early in the morning with the sun rising through the clouds. We've made it through some wild summer weather, the turbine has been whizzing in the wind and the rain has given everything a good sprinkle but it has done nothing to dampen any of our yurters good spirits. The woodburners in the yurts have been keeping everyone toasty while we've busy restocking the woodshed.
Unfortunately Mr Fox came along and gobbled up the chickens we had down the field. We are now working on putting up a pen and a new arc down the field as soon as we can so you can check the eggs and chicks when you visit.
The pigs are growing really well and have been joined by two more weaners called WIlberforce and Michael Jackson. They are ploughing their way through their field really fast.
Thursday 2nd June - Laurie
Its been hot hot hot. We've had a great few weeks of hot weather and the yurt meadow is in full bloom. There are a huge amount of small oaks growing in the grass so we will transplant them to the wooded areas before mowing. The grass will be mowed mid July once the grass and flower seeds are fully grown and about to be scattered.
We are replacing the stove in our mini yurt as we are struggling to get much heat out of the one currently in there. The stove is made in Devon by Windy Smithy. Its a lovely little stove and a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
And, The Yurt Farm featured in The Times' 50 Best Campsites last week! It feels great and we are both really flattered and very proud. Thank you to everyone for coming to stay with us.
Monday 15th June - Laurie
One of my favourite parts of the day is getting up really early and walking down to the yurt field to do a quick morning clean up. Its the time of day when the sheep are still sleeping and i can watch hedgehogs wandering across the track. The mist is still siting in the valley, slowly getting burnt off by the sunrise, and all our happy yurters are sleeping away. Only my piggies are bouncing about ready for food and a scratch.
Thea and Mossy are away till tomorrow in the Netherlands so i have had fun weekend looking after our yurts. Our yurters have been canoeing down the Cilgerran and have hired bikes from Cyclemart to cycle for teas and ice creams at The Hive on The Quay in Aberaeron.
Thursday 27th May - Laurie
Hello, sorry it's been so long since the last news update, we have been so busy since we opened which has been brilliiant, thank-you. Everything is going really well, with all the yurters really enjoying themselves. People are amazed with how peaceful it is around here with only the sound of the birds or maybe if your lucky the pitter patter of rain to wake you up. We have a long list of useful suggestions to make our yurts even better so we are busy trying to act on them all.
Our solar showers are working well, it is amazing how hot the water can get when the sun shows its face. Our wind turbine and pv solar panel have been well tested and we have been lucky to have always had either wind or sun to create our electricity.
We are going to change the roof on our cabin because it gets quite 'acoustic' when the wind picks up. Instead we will put onduline corrugate on the roof with lots of clear panels to let lots of light in.
And i have finally got my piglets! Smokey and streaky,
(saddleback x berkshire breed) arrived exactly a week ago and are in the old pig sty on the farm before making their way down to the field beside the yurts. They are both a bit shy but are getting the hang of coming flying out of their straw nest when they hear the food bucket coming. In a couple of weeks they will be joined by another 2 piglets so everyone will have be able to watch them ploughing up the soil and playing in the field.
Sunday 19th April - Laurie
So we are officially Yurt Farmers! Our first lovely guests have given the yurts a good try out and luckily had oodles of sunshine to bask in. The sun meant that we could also use our solar powered showers for the first time. They seem to work really well and generate lots of hot water for toasty showers. With a few tweeks like a few more pegs and shelves for clothes the showers will be another big job ticked off my list.
Thursday 16th April - Thea and Laurie
We've made it and are so happy and relieved we have got everything we wanted finished in time. Our first happy guests have arrived and got all the stoves roaring hot, unfortunately they brought the rain with them! It has been a very busy last few weeks with all our families helping, we can't thank them enough. It will be nice to have a lie in tomorrow.
We now have pictures of our own yurts on this website. We are really grateful to Carmen from Annwn Valley yurts for letting us use her images for all this time. Please check out her website for a lovely yurt holiday in the woods by the stream
