This summer we have installed a sumerhouse in our garden. We are so pleased to have somewhere to sit and enjoy the wonderful valley view and also to watch our busy birdlife. We have thought of christening it the Buzzard hide because every time we sit down for tea or lunch we look up and see one of 'our' Buzzards wheeling away above us, or in the late summer listening to the young Buzzards calling to their parents on wing. The summerhouse has already proved to be one of our better investments.









At the moment the weather has driven us inside and from our dining room this week we watched as a Sparrowhawk perched on our terrace railings after an abortive raid on our feeders. He looked as miserable about the weather as we were.

Good news then that we have upgraded our heating system and replaced all our old radiators with properly sized models. Added to this we have doubled our loft insulation and double-glazed a number of windows and doors, we are far better sheltered from the weather. Real warmth at last.

All this should make Pepper House an even better bet for your winter break in January or February - look at our website for details or call us on 01229 860206.
