WildCurl

Hi all, it was my parents Birthday last week so we celebrated in style at the Broomhill Jazz evening, with sweet sounds, delicious food, great company and inspiring surroundings what more could we want! My sister Lolly came up from Tavistock to visit on Saturday so Mum treated us to lunch at Zena's in Barnstaple, yum! Joel made a really strudy shelter in the forest for his brother and friends to sleep in during his 17th birthday bash. Sunday saw Joel head in for a surf at Croyde with friends while i cycled from Woolacombe to Croyde to get back into the swing of full on excerise.
Now its back to work with lots to do, i am currently planning the next phase of my website www.wildcurl.co.uk, an online guide to North Devon. Check it out to find events, activities, accommodation, restaurants and much more!

Keep the Bees alive

I'm not sure if this is a Bee or a Wasp in this picture i took a while ago, sorry i am no expert. However, I do know that Bees are disappearing at an unprecedented rate, this is a serious problem and one that we can help to solve by doing a few simple things.
The colourful blazes of wildflowers in our meadows and much of the food on our plates - would not be around if it wasn't for the Bees. They don't just make honey, they pollinate more than 90 of the flowering crops we rely on for food. Among them: apples, nuts, pears, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, broccoli, celery, squash, tomatoes, sunflowers and cucumbers... citrus fruit, peaches, kiwis, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries and melons.

Help the Bees:

• join the Bumblebee Conservation Trust
  
• cultivate your garden with traditional cottage garden flowers such as Rosemary, Bluebells, Foxglove, Comfrey and Vipers Bugloss, which bees love. By planting the right flowers, gardeners could do a huge amount to help restore bees' lost habitats.

North Devon Festival

I am just proofing the Broomhill events for the North Devon Festival brochure and thought about the new logo. I have an interest in Art and design so i was quite intrigued to see the new logo appear. What do you think?

Herbydrawers

We took our Nan and friends to the garden centre on Saturday to get some herbs for a mini herb garden. As the farm is still being renovated we are still working on the buildings before we get to the aesthetics of the land but we couldn't resist buying a few lush smelling herbs to plant by our kitchen window. As we use a wood burner, we have a lot of scrap wood waiting to be burnt, we managed to find an old pair of drawers to plant our herb garden in, they were perfect!

Snow in Devon!

Here is the video we made of our snow adventure on the North Devon coast and Exmoor. It turns a bit 'you've been framed' at the end...

Devonshire fun in the snow...

We haven't seen snow like this in all the years that we've lived here! North Devon turned into a ski resort yesterday, we took full advantage of the rolling landscape. The countryside was covered in snow, glistening in the sun, what a picture!
