Y-Not Guest House — Sat, 19 May 2012 07:36:15 +0000

Now the weather is getting warmer in Boston Lincolnshire, we are beginning to see the return of our walkers and cyclists to the area. We hope that after the cold spring everything in the garden will catch up. It is a full time job keeping on top of everything and feeding the birds in the garden. We have many different varieties and it is very intresting watching them feed their babies.There is always some activity going on. Opposite the y-not guest house we have the North Forty Foot drain.On the corner opposite the house we have a pair of swans who have just hatched off 12 cygnets.There are also baby Ducks,Moor hens, Cotes and Canadian Geese. We always advise our visitors at the B&B to go and feed them if they have the time and intrest. A 5 minute walk before or after breakfast seems to be a favourite. We look forward to meeting our guests who are returning for another visit to Boston or new guests who are looking for a B&B with a homely atmosphere. Kind regards Margaret and Pete

New Events

Y-Not Guest House — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:56:43 +0000

We have now finished the new gravelled drive way at the Y-Not Guest House. This now gives us much more off road parking for bigger vehicles. We have just spent 10 days in Holland at Venlo visiting the Floriade flower festival. We have been fortunate to visit 3 now 10 years between each one. We decided to visit in Ap[ril this time as we visited during the summer months our previous visits. Some Parts are not so good at this time of the year but then later in the year we do not see the hyacinths in such beautiful display gardens. As the park is close to Germany the weather has not been so warm as we have enjoyed the last month. Consequently the daffodils and tulips are flowering later than ours. We also visited Arnham Airbourne Museum. This was a very intresting place to visit and we think,as you get older everything seems to make more sense than when you first learn about our history at school. Back home to Boston we look forward to our May Fair, Some people enjoy the event and others loathe it. We always enjoy a visit to walk around in the evening, the days of wanting to take part in the rides have long since gone. Also during the same weekend we have our own tulip parade in Spalding.If you have never visited then it really is a fantastic event to visit. It takes place on Saturday May 5th 2012. This is only 16 miles from us at the Y-not Guest House. Boston market place has had a re- vamp with lots of contraversey taking place but hopefully when it is all finished, life will settle down and everyone will be able to visit the town and enjoy all the beautiful things that the town has to offer.We are sure that all towns have things going on in the background and we certainly have learnt that really Boston is not so bad when you talk to your visitors and here what is going on else where in the country. We look forward to meeting many visitors again this year at Y-not Guest House. Hopefully new guests and ones returning again for special events happening through out 2012. Kind regards Margaret & Pete

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.

EASTER AND THE ROYAL WEDDING

Here at y-not guest house We are buzy deciding on our theme for decorating the house and gardens. We encourage the birds into the garden and now it has turned so cold thus making sure the birds are well fed and watered the same as our guests. Boston is buzy with the new Asda nearly completed and M&S also has been given a face lift. We begin to see visitors start their repeating visits year after year, we are begining to see the cyclists,and walkers on their various trips. The 1st weekend in May will see the famous tulip parade in Spalding which is only 16 miles away from us in Boston. It truly is a sight to see and then we have the May fair for the same week in the Town. Some people love the atmosphere and others are not so entrilled, we like to go up and watch but no longer participate. but always candy from the rocky thompson stall and a candy floss is a must. We hope to see guests returning who are now friends and new guests who are visiting Boston for the first time. All will receive a warm welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay at y-not guest house whether your trip is for business or pleasure. kind regards Margaret

Kind Regards Margaret and Pete

spring has sprung

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.

Summer nearly here

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.
