Train Progress Right on Track

We've had some lovely weather this month, and it's allowed us to get busy with our ride-on train. So we have a few metres of track down and level now, and we are ready to start heading out into the field with track - we're keen to see how far it goes! Thanks to Brian, who was our first ever passenger test-riding our first laid section.

The platform is now mostly made, bar some additional decorations, and we have also built our wagon shed - it's not quite finished, but you can see we're nearly there. There's a door for the ride-on wagons, and then a smaller door next to it where our LGB track will come out and head down into the gardens. The biggest challenge we have is keeping the track as level as possible, as all the ground here is on a hill!

This Should A-peel to Our Guests!

We have decided to plant an orchard! So far we have a pear tree, and two plum trees, all self-pollinating. We plan to have a selection of fruit trees: apples, plums, pears; apricots, and so on. The idea is that eventually guests will be able to pick their own fruit  and maybe nuts too - although this will of course take a few years to come to fruit-ion.

We also have a Black Walnut tree, which is a really big tree and not really orchard-sized, so we planted that one up by our giant bench. The walnuts are going to be excellent for eating or cooking, so we look forward to that!

Slot Car Shack... On Its Way

Our new fun activity on-site is our brand new Slot Car Shack. The layout inside is nearly, nearly finished, and it’s amazing! Scalextric has gone digital, with timed pitstops, lap counter, fastest lap, etc. perfect for fun and exciting races with up to six people. Pictures and video of the inside to come…
