Y-Not Bed and Breakfast Blog

Here in Boston it is our buzy season again with the GB rowing team trials.
We are always pleased to welcome the teams as they return year after year. They are a real credit to our country and show such determination to do well for their country in a difficult sport. It is not all glitz and glamour, cold,wet,windy and snow seems to be the weather when they are working their hardest to have a deserving place in the team. Good luck to everyone taking part this year 2011.
We are having a new drive laid at the guest house as the weather has not been kind to the concrete over the last 2 years. Boston town centre is having a revamp but there are still lots of things to do and shops for those who are starting their christmas shopping early. It does not seem possible for christmas to be so near. A short drive away we have woodhall spa with lots of history and a nice walk in the woods,a cinema in the woods and a lovely cafe to enjoy a meal or snack after your walk. Skegness is only 45 minutes away with lots of shops and up along the coast is Donna Nook where the seal colony is, from the beginning of November you can visit and see the baby seals being born.so close to the public. A fantastic day out for all. In Boston we have the 2 bird reserves Frampton Marsh and Frieston Shore, again wonderful places to visit.

It does not seem possible that we are putting the clocks forward this weekend.The gardens are looking good and the plants are well on the way in the greenhouse. Baskets are planted and keeping warm. Tomatoes and cucumbers, lettuce all growing nicely.The birds are buzy building their nests in the conifer trees at the bottom of the garden at the Y-NOT Guest House. Our guests at the b and b tell me where the birds are going in and out of the hedge.we have blackbirds, thrushes, sparrows, wren, blue tits and great tits. doves and starlings.The robin and Green Finches.
We feed the birds in the garden, so they are always looking around for you to feed them. Just down the road we walk and feed the ducks and Canadian Geese on the forty foot bank. Later we have a family of swans appear. You have to be careful other wise they follow you back to the B&B. We have to make sure the ducks do not get into the garden other wise they destroy our ponds.

i just wanted to say thankyou to Simon and his team of staff and helpers at frampton RSPB reserve, who made us so welcome last thursday 17th March 2011. We were invited as local businesses to attend the centre and see what happened down there so we could tell our visitors what a day at the centre involved.we had a wonderful day and a superb buffet lunch.it was very intresting to see what they have achieved, it was a cold day but still pleasant. we will certainly be spending more time down at the reserve as it is just as pleasant to have a quiet walk and always something to be watching.not always the birds but the wildlife that the birds need to be able to feed.
