2022 is here - lets get ready for Fun
January has arrived and all the festive season is over, I hope you all had a good one. For us it was mixed, we have some great family time, and even managed to get time out on the river with Misterton. There was sadness as Big Ollie the boatyard cat became poorly over the New Year and we made the difficult decision to have him put to sleep.
Big Ollie was a great cat, although he was definitely selective about who and when he gave attention to. He was a fan of all the guests, and across the summer he often put weight on, it did not take us too long to realise he was scrounging tit-bits from all and sundry. He wasn’t so good with Nate when he was little, so Nate wanted his own Ollie, and the baptising of Big and Little Ollie as names occurred.
Although it was sad, we have to look forwards and have decided that we might opt for a totally different Christmas this year, we will see. I have begun researching ways we can have time out as a family, but I want time out too, so I want someone else to do the work. Does that sound familiar?
It was this thinking that created our Sparrows and Amazons package. It proved really popular last summer, and we already have bookings for this year. The package puts together a holiday plan for you, organised by the team at Hippersons and includes a reservation (you just pay the bill) at the award-winning Oak Fired pizza: http://www.oakfired.co.uk . If you want to find out more take a look at this page on our website https://www.hippersons.co.uk/sparrows-and-amazons , and if it takes your fancy you can add it as an extra once you have chosen your accommodation.
However you like to spend your time, don’t forget to book yourself a few treats throughout 2022, the year can fly by and it is important to make the most of every moment. If you like sweet treats than award winning Harris and James chocolate could be for you https://harrisandjames.com/collections/chocolate-collection , or if you prefer to taste alcoholic beverages perhaps a visit to the Adnams brewery in Southwold https://www.adnams.co.uk .
This year in 2022, Nate has challenged me to stay calm all the time, and Simon wants me to spend time with him. I will achieve both of these by booking the family on a twilight tour with Stephen in the summer. We will all be calm as the river is so relaxing, and we will be spending quality time together making our own stories. Happy 2022 everyone.
