Cwmbiga Farm - our personal page
Work is well underway on the conservatory. When it is finished,
the conservatory will provide a substantial (7m by 5m - 23 ft by 17 ft)
extra room which we intend to put to a variety of uses: breakfast room for
B&B guests, dining room for B&B, self catering and non resident
guests, lecture room, meeting room and possibly tea room.With two sides of the room mainly glass and a high vaulted ceiling, the roof line is going to follow the line of the farmhouse but about 1 metre below. The roof will be in slate, to match the existing roof. There will be a reinforced retaining wall at the back against the yard, and a wc and wash basin will be located in this area. B&B guests will access the farmhouse via a doorway to be created between from this room leading to the sitting room and bedrooms upstairs.
Whilst
the project is going well and we are convinced having the additional room
will be a real asset to the business (as well as finishing the whole project
off and making the site more aesthetically pleasing) it is another big financial
commitment and a source of some anxiety.
Fortunately our bees are still doing ok. Susan and I checked the hive today and found that they are well, with plenty of stored honey to hopefully keep them going over the winter. The varroa mite count is low, which is also good news.
