Week 3 of the Shepherd Hut build and I've been a little distracted and not just with lots of lovely dogs!

On Wednesday I had the privilege of releasing 2 rehabilitated hedgehogs back into the wild from my garden, thanks to all the hard work and care by Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue whom I volunteer at. 

Colin and Deb (also a volunteer and now dear friend) helped me by collecting the pair from the rescue centre and bringing them to me. Together we got them settled into their temporary new hog houses in time before dark so they could begin their night time explorations. 

I also discovered that some squatters were attempting to move into Jabba the Hut already.... can you guess who they are from the evidence in the photos? 

Work for this weekend involves putting up a fence to ensure any dogs that come to stay will be safe from our driveway entrance and we hope to have the oak French door in place by Sunday night so watch for more photo updates on the Holiday Let page.  

The build has started! 

I've jokingly called my hut Jabba... a star wars theme often follows me around. It's not going to be it's final name, I'm yet to decide on that but the fun has started and I've had the best start to building it with a little help of some friends... 

Sean (with Ant) was first on scene to help unload the trailer and build the sides. By the time they'd finished, Sarah and Andrew had arrived in time to take over the next jobs and lend a hand whilst also on their holibobs to Glynndawny!

So far so good and we've been so lucky with the weather. 

Guest builder update from Sarah coming soon!
