Introducing you to the latest additions to Martin Lane Farm. Pinky & Perky (not very imaginative I know!!!) have now taken up residence. They are living in the shed at the moment but, when they get a bit bigger they will be going out into the field.

All the cottages are full this week. Yvonne & Val are here once again from Ipswich. This must be their 5th visit. They have come up to watch the Ladies Golf Open at Lytham St Annes and they have already booked with us for next year when the same event takes place at Royal Birkdale.

The weather hasn't been too bad, we seem to have escaped alot of the rain so I'm keeping my fingers crossed about August.

I completed the Race for Life on Sunday 19th July. Was very pleased with myself as I completed the 5k in 40 minutes and have so far raised £405 for cancer research with some more promised. If you would care to add to my total, its very easy to do via the 'Just Giving' link on this blog

What a difference a week makes!! Last week we were sweltering as the temperature soared ever higher but yesterday & today the rain has come down in torrents. The garden looks better for it and the geese are delighted but the poor hens are looking a bit bedraggled.
Have been very busy getting the 'Welcome Walkers & Cyclists' accreditation so, now we've got that,
we're working to get the 'Green Tourism' award. We want to be as 'environmentally friendly' as we possibly can so there's quite a few things we need to change, but I was surprised at just how many things we were doing right already.
Our free range farm eggs are proving very popular with our guests so the 'chucks' are earning their keep at last.
Work has finally started on our fourth cottage which, when finished will be suitable for wheelchair users and guests with other mobility problems.
I'm running in the 'Race for Life' in two weeks so, if you would care to sponsor me for Cancer Research, its very easy to do via the link to the left of this article.
