I cannot believe how quickly time has passed this year and I was shocked to see that it was August that I last issued a newsletter.
We have been very busy at Trewoon and have enjoyed visits from long standing friends of Trewoon and making new friends too.
You have all made 2012 a very successfull year for us and The Chocolate Box continues to be Cornish Cottages most popular cottage with Rest-a-Shore just behind it.
As a thank you for your continuing support for a limited period we are pre-offering just for you a New Year stay at The Chocolate Box for £400 (inc.booking fee) and Christmas and New Year at Rest-a-Shore for £600 per week (inc. booking fee) . This offer will not be available to the general public until the middle of November.
We have a few odd weeks left for 2012 and are able to offer the week commencing December 7th on The Chocolate Box for £220 (inc. booking fee) and the weeks commencing November 23rd, 30th & December 14th for £300 (inc. booking fee) on Rest-a-Shore. This offer will become available to the general public on Wednesday.
If you are interested in these weeks just telephone Cornish Cottages on 01326 240315 and say "I am a friend of Trewoon".
The first of three delivery of bulbs arrived in September and Ron, Ted and Robbie with some help from Blue and Poppy began planting over 15,500 bulbs.
Already we have the first bulbs ready to flower
Last year the first daffodils were in full bloom the first week of November, are we going to break the record?
Several of you have seen me embroidering and working on the below project so I thought that I would show you it finished.
There are some fantastic photographs that have recently been added to the albums, well worth checking out.
We had a visit earlier in the year by David Sandell a fine portrait artist and he very kindly agreed to paint Poppy and Blue, of course we could not leave Millie out and David has worked from photographs of Millie.
Here is the initial sketch for the painting.
It is wonderful to see the three of them together again. I will post a photograph of the painting when finished.
On a final note 2013 is already heavily booked and 2014 is filling up fast, I have asked Cornish Cottages to make sure that our regular visitors who come the same time each year are given priority but I would strongly recommend that you contact them to reserve your weeks.
Warm wishes from Ray, Nicola, Poppy and Blue
