Another Bank holiday weekend for everyone to enjoy.Hopefully the weather will stay warm, i haven’t ordered rain so it shouldn’t!!!

Peace Haven is full for the Bank Holiday with a mixture of holiday makers, shop fitters and two Drs staying.

Daffodils nearly over, and three dead bay trees,garden will need bedding plants soon, but as they say “cast not a cloud till May is out” so may wait a while.As for the dead bays its a real shame, i think the hard winter has caused it, the one bay i have had since we opened in 2005.

Enjoy the four day week next week.
