Trolley disaster strikes

For anybody that has come to stay in the treehouse or yurt since February, my little luggage trolley will have been a familiar sight. For many of the Bake off Production team, it was all too familiar as I pulled it into shot on an almost daily basis. Thank goodness they managed to edit me out.

Alas, after only eight months use a trolley bearing seized and I am being told that it is not possible for it to be repaired under guarantee.   So I have to claim a refund and get another or pay for a part to be sent from the States.

I fear that I'm ranting again but surely there is a more sensible and lest wasteful option? 

Linda fears that I have got too attached to the trolley and I should just let go!

GBBO Again!

Just watched episode 2 and the memories came flooding back - Mainly how did we manage to miss out on the Bagels? We did taste quite a lot of things, but not the bagels! We blamed the crew for weeks, but I think it was our fault; we were just too polite. (at least back then, The less said about Linda eating the directors specially selected baked delicacies the better.)!

Great British Bake Off

At last we can tell! After weeks of doing our best to keep the secret we can now admit that the whole of the third series of Great British Bake Off was filmed here. What a delightful group of people! Like a big family. Linda and her friends were delighted when Mary Berry used to come into our kitchen to warm herself next to our Aga, as it was so cold outside everyone needed a bit of thawing out. Harptree looked stunning on the first program last night. We held a small party to thank some of our friends who helped out during the 10 weeks that the crew were here. We continued to run the Bed and Breakfast and the treehouse and yurt while it was all going on and some of the guests were able to watch some of the filming. One lot of guests were quite surprised to be welcomed by Mel on arrival.
All in all we had great fun
