Spring has a definite ring here in the Northumberland National Park, we have the sunshine, the spring flowers all we are waiting for are the arrival of lambs which will be starting from April 1st..... hopefully our April and May guests will have lots of lambs to see racing around the fields playing in the sunshine. At GlamPods Northumberl...

​They are in situ thanks to my Dad and Spanners - looking lovely and already been well used by a lot of children - even in the rain last night! The Pods have been painted inside and another deep clean so looking more spruce and shiny than ever.... Bird feeders are getting regularly refilled and there is a definate sign of spring in the air with daf...

So far we are having a lovely autumnal feel to October and November with plenty of guests from Dark Sky watchers to the start of Kielder Winter Wonderland. The Weddings are still very busy in Otterburn and we have a lot of wedding guest visitors.   I went to a great meeting about Kielder last week and now feel quite knowledgeable on the K...

A quick blog to show you my new terraces!  They are fantastic and in front of each pod as well as the BBQ hut and they serve to make the pods look even more smart and enhance the natural colours.  Great party weekend in the BBQ Hut - a "steady" night with lots of laughter! 

It's official - "Lily and Finn Walton are proud to announce the arrival of 4 little girls and they are gorgeous"  ( I would be seriously tempted but we can't have three terriers!)  I will try and get pictures of the full family for a future blog.. On the glamping front we have had some Kielder Marathon guests and continue with a stre...

Husband and I attended the Glamping Show at the NAEC in Stoneleigh which gave us an insight into what we are doing right and wrong in the Glamping World.  We came away feeling happy with our site and have some great new ideas so watch this space!  The site continues to host guests from families to dancers (check out my FB page for the Dol...

​I thought I'd give you an "end of mad season" update..... we opened for Glamping Business in the last weekend in May and 314 visitors later - yup, 314 in 13 weeks we can now take stock and breath!!  Seriously, a wonderful summer season helped by AMAZING weather and still very busy although we have longer stay guests booked in o...

Well daughter and I had a lovely time at Burghley Horse Trials with plenty of sunshine and a few "little drinkies" with friends old and new and as usual Mr and Mrs Steel created an amazing trip - Huge thank you..... Husband had fun with a helicopter last Friday. One of the fields was used for landing to escort a new Mr and Mrs to the...

We have had a manic week with all pods full constantly and some lovely guests....  The Hut has had a lot of guests enjoying a cosy, twinkly lights get-together and I feel like I am now just a permanent grass cutting machine (had to be cut nearly three times this week due to rain and sun!) The grass cutting music has ranged from ...

 What a busy weekend, Daughter and I took our games pony to Cheshire to compete in the Pony Club Championships, a privilege and an honour,  a successful and fun trip complete with sunshine.  The Pods were left in the very capable hands of Tori and Kim although they didn't seem to have as much sunshine as I did.  I took the oppor...

​Seriously, I keep singing this - can't decide whether it's my age or the fact that we have had the most amazing summer and I want it to come back -  "a proper summer" as my Mum said but there again it followed a proper winter and I don't want that back! Since we opened at the end of May we have had over 200 visitors and I am both touched and ...
