Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome to my weekly blog for The Manor House, Moreton. My offerings will contain updates and information about the house and garden as well as a few other little bits about what we are up to as a family, what I am cooking and things we are doing in the local area.

As a family we love exploring the Forest behind our cottage, gorgeous  walks, grazing long horned cattle, constantly changing views and the walk across the Ford on the way home is always a delight.

In the summer months it can get quite busy at the Ford, so we feel quite lucky that we get to enjoy to ourselves for most of the year. The Floods this year were really bad, the worst we have seen in six years!

My favourite spot is at the top of the forest, I run here a few times a week, it’s like Narnia!

If you are staying at The Manor I seriously recommend that you take a walk across the Ford and go exploring, a stop at the Tea Room’s on your way home is a must, they bake amazing cakes!

Last weekend we celebrated Easter, we went to a wonderful party – attempted to make this creation to take along – It did NOT turn out as expected, it had to be turned in to an Easter Eton Mess!

Next blog will contain a few seasonal recipes, some pictures of the garden at The Manor & some exciting news regarding The Walled Garden, Moreton.
