Malston Mill Farm Diary
February 2010 |

We had our own holiday in mexico in November and it rained 7 out of 11 days. Just goes to show you are not guaranteed good weather where ever you go. At least the many first class facilities that we offer at Malston Mill keep you entertained during such times in England.
In March we are celebrating 25 years at Malston Mill. Cannot really believe it. We have been so fortunate to have so many of you return year after year and I hope we will see you again this year.
The cold weather is still with us but how stunning the lake and gardens looked this morning. White frost with the early morning sunshine, it really does take your breath away(even after 25 years). I hope our guests experience such a view over the half term week.

Well I have pored over the gardening books and magazines and have been quite inspired. Just hope I have not ordered too many seeds, got a little carried away but we should have some amazing colour this year.
My first lot of seeds have been sown, they are in the propagator so hopefully will find it warm enough to germinate. Hope to find time over the weekend for my February sowings. Just need the ground to defrost to start preparing the beds. |

Looking forward to seeing who catches the biggest fish during 2010. It could be you.
Do not worry if the big one frightens you there are plenty of 2 -3 lb carp for the novice, as well as rudd and tench.
Whatever your experience I cannot think of a more beautiful location to just sit and relax whilst waiting for that line to go. |

The mallards & mandarin ducks are now back in the water hopefully we will not have such a big freeze to freeze the lake over again this year. The crafty old fox actually decided to have a little walk around the lake this morning. Ducks kept their distance.
Gus the cat we adopted from the RSPCA, is settling in, in his own time. Has ventured outside but still not too sure but it is a little more progress. Hugo is back sleeping in front of the Aga. -3 we thought was a little cold for his usual abode. |
