Christmas over for another year at Lymehurst B&B

Either the tree is leaning or the photographer has had too much port!

 It doesn't seem that long ago that I was busy getting all the decorations out of the attic and then enjoying myself putting them up in time for the influx of family members.

Garlands decorating banisters

But then all too soon the time comes to take it all down. So the garlands came down........then it was the time for the tree to be de decorated.........and then every where looked really empty. It actually takes quite a lot of time to get everything taken down, sorted, packed and then finally stored back up in the attic..




Well, children have started to disperse. Rebecca went off to near Portsmouth for an interview on Friday and has now flown to France to get 6 weeks experience of working in schools. She will be working in two international schools near Lyon. Adam is rushing to get work done on two pieces of work for uni and he will then depart for Cardiff, so the house will seem empty again, although I have my first booking for January tomorrow night. It's only a one night booking so I'm going to be eased back into business mode rather gently. It does seem a long time ago since I last had paying guests. Nice to have a break but bills still need to be paid. Lets hope that bookings start to roll in for 2012.
A belated Happy New Year to anybody that might read my Blogg
