This Saturday Mark and I entertained 13 people in the Yurt! It was a belated party to celebrate the arrival of our first Yurt at Hill Farm.

The weather was pretty awful – rain, rain, and more rain fell most of the day, but our new wood burner (a “Henry” from Windy Smithy) did a great job of keeping the Yurt warm and dry – so much so in fact, that some of our guests had to keep stepping outside onto the decking to cool down! We served Chilli con carne, kept warm on the wood burner, with lots of crusty bread, nachos, salsa, and sour cream – yum!

It was a great night, and comfortably housed us all. The next day the Yurt seemed huge with just the two of us in there!

I think the next party might involve mulled wine on the wood burner, and some mince pies!
