Every year we have a bit of a mad panic to get ready for the new season and this year is no different!
The biggest job has been replacing the main guesthouse kitchen (pictures coming soon) but we also have a lot of new beds, mattresses and bedside tables (from Warren Evans an ethical business). Hopefully there are new sofas and chairs on tonight’s Gry (it can be a bit of a mammoth task getting things here) and many other smaller additions and upgrades around the place.
Roy painting the garden wall
Some of you may recognise our new gardener from the picture above. It’s Roy Duncan (Bryony’s dad) who has retired from boating having sold the Golden Spray after the 2009 season. Whereas guests used to see him every morning at breakfast as he brought the day’s boating information they will now see him tending the garden and doing some odd jobs around the place.
His first task was to paint the garden walls which were getting rather grubby. We’re continuing to use Ecos Organic Paint (website) which we’ve been really impressed with so far inside the house.
To make it easier to keep you all up to date with what’s going on at Mincarlo we’re going to replace the news page on our website with this blog.
