A wonderful still autumn day appearing through the mist this morning. Still so warm and sunny most days. Another glut of Bidwell apples and the resulting Invisible Apple Cake. Love this time of year although slightly pining for a sea swim.

It’s Fire Risk Assessment time again. A legal obligation that we take very seriously. Making sure both our cottages are compliant takes care and effort. Boilers serviced, chimneys swept, PAT testing, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors checked and logged before every guest are just a few of the things we have to do to make sure our guests are safe.

It’s amazing how many self catering properties haven’t completed a fire risk assessment or even bothered to add a carbon monoxide or smoke detector. You can happily book a cottage through any number of platforms that don’t do their due diligence and ask for proof of compliance. However, if the worse happened and there was a fire, their personal liability insurance would be invalid. Personally, I need the peace of mind that our guests are safe.

A little shout out to Stentwood Farm, home to the Common Loaf Bakery and tearoom, maker of my most favourite loaf (organic 100% rye sourdough). Insanely good with avocado and smoked salmon. I usually collect from but I was passing the bakery this week instead. The warmest, cosiest tearoom where you can stop in front of the fire and sample one of their delicious cakes or pick up some of their incredible bread. They are’t on insta as they are far too wholesome 🥰 but do stop by if you are staying with us and heading towards Hemyock.

Blowing away the cobwebs with a walk along the Cobb at Lyme Regis. This little seaside town, full of independent shops is decorated so beautifully for the festive period. Having watched Wonka over Christmas (part of which was filmed here), it felt even more magical today.

The low valley mist giving way to the most beautiful bright blue sky this morning and warm sunshine. Happy Saturday! 🍂☀️

Lovely new range oven just fitted in the Haybarton, ready for a big celebration feast (I’m not mentioning….🎄). Our kitchens are very well equipped with weighing scales, mini food processors, slow cookers and plenty of crockery and cutlery. I get so frustrated when staying in accommodation with minimal crockery, so the Haybarton has enough for 12 guests with plenty spare in the cupboards. Lovely w**e glasses and ch*****ne flutes (maybe it is just me, but fizz just doesn’t taste as nice in a w**e glass!). Thanks for your speedy and efficient delivery.

Loving the slow shift into Autumn and these dreamy blue skies. A wonderful stillness at Bidwell today. Even the ducks were playing at being statues. Looks like it’s baked apples for tea again 🍎🍎🍎 🍁
