Not long to go!

The white tips of the snowdrops are visible however they are very unlikely to progress much over the next week due to the cold weather of this week and more to come (according to the forecasters).  Going on past experience I would suggest that the flowers will be starting to bloom just as the scheme starts so fingers crossed for some sunny days at the beginning of February!
Many of our regular visitors may be surprised to find that our usual parking area for long stayers is now a building site, but don't panic!  The Exmoor Livestock Farmers have kindly given us permission to use their land where the old sheep market was for parking.  You may also notice a change here too - the brand new livestock market is a stunning building and also includes a cafe.  Lucy and Catherine will be opening the cafe on weekends during the scheme and half term.  Please note that there will be livestock markets on Thursday 10th and Wednesday 16th and this will mean no parking there.
Many thanks to the Groundwork Trust for their work in clearing leaves from the path, and to Exmoor National Park Authority for all the signing and other works to help the scheme run smoothly.
If we could just find a crystal ball for the weather we would be sorted......
