Christmassy Feelings...

That's it - we're off now until the 5th January - woo hoo! Sophie and I have lugged everything out of the old office....and into the new. So, whereas before we were spread out over rather a palatial space, we are now all cwtched up together in the old booze cupboard...hic.

It's nice, we like it. So, off I go now, and back to work on the 5th. This will always be known as the year of the 'build' and here we are, all finished, pleased as punch, and ready for a happy 2009 (we are taking an optimistic tack on this, we've had enough of gloom mongerers).

Oh, and for me, it was definitely the year of the 'dissertation', my friend and fellow student Bev likened it to giving birth to a very large baby without any pain relief......so all the 'bearing down' paid off and this Monday I was the proud recipient of a scroll, and I got to wear a silly hat too. Piccie of Amy and I on our graduation day below. Have a SUPER CHRISTMAS!

A happy day...a very happy day!!

Yay! We got it!

It's taken us nearly 3 years - but all of the hard work has paid off. This morning we've just had our Visitwales grading and....the Preseli Venture Eco Adventure Lodge is now officially West Wales and Pembrokeshire’s only 5 star activity centre.

Big cheers to everyone involved and well done all round - Nick and Sophie for their vision, Nick for all the actual real hard work of building and supervising the project, Jon K for his painting skills, Sheldon for being such a special electrician, Tony and Kevin for their woodwork, Peter our plasterer extraordinaire and too many other friends and willing workers to mention by name. Thanks to all of you...blub!

A sad day...but a good day

Our lovely, lovely Loz is off to pastures new! After 5 years at Preseli Venture she's packed up her spotted hankie, mounted it on the end of a long stick, and she's following the yellow brick road to WOOKEY HOLE of all places, where she has heard the streets are paved with gold...

We will miss her so much, but we wish her LOTS of luck at the Wookey Hole Inn with Rich and the rest of the gang, and maybe we'll see her there! So, tomorrow night, that's Thursday, we're going along to the Duke at Newgale to say 'au revoir' to Loz, we'll be there from 6.30pm, because we plan to eat egg and chips and play pool and drink pints. Come along too, if you fancy :)
