The geese are back, three weeks early
Eight thousand pink-footed geese came in over the marsh on Tuesday night, which by our records is the earliest since we opened.
Journal
From the house
Notes on the weather, the boats, what is coming out of the garden and the occasional argument about the menu.
We tried, again, to remove the tar
Every four or five years somebody suggests it, and every four or five years the seaward gable wins.
Closing for a fortnight in January
The kitchen comes apart, the floors get oiled, and one of us goes somewhere with palm trees.
Reservations
We answer the telephone between eight and eight.
One of the four rooms is held back for people who ring rather than book online. If the calendar says we are full, it is still worth asking.
