Peter's Racing Experience at Thruxton

For a 'special birthday' treat Peter went to Thruxton (40 minutes away) and, after an excellent briefing, drove a Porsche with an instructor and then a single seater Formula Renault racing car at speed round the circuit.

Thruxton is the fastest racing circuit in England and you can choose to drive a 'super car' such as a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin instead of a single seater. This is a HIGHLY recommended treat - see our Activities page for details.

Dorset Steam Fair

- claims to be the World's biggest Steam Fair, and as it fills the 600 acre site, I don't doubt it! The dates for 2008 are Wednesday August 27th to Sunday 31st August. Click here for details.

Harpsichords

Peter has just got a brand new website for his harpsichord making business:- www.smalleyharpsichords.co.uk The change to self-catering has enabled him to spend more time in the workshop and less in the kitchen, which is pleasing both him and his harpsichord customers!

Salisbury International Arts Festival

Festival dates 23 May - 8 June 2008. Click here for details of the exciting programme.

Barney update!

Barney, the hare we bottle fed from birth in 2003, grew so large and lively that we eventually had to release him (or her?).
Now Barney is a regular annular visitor in the garden surprising several guests by appearing outside their window in the morning!

The right hand photograph shows Barney in the courtyard in August 2007.

Geothermal Energy provides 'green' heat

The underfloor heating system in the house and The Stables at Ebblesway Courtyard is powered by Geothermal Energy! A mile of pipe buried 2 metres deep is connected to a water-to-water heat pump, which extracts heat from the ground and transfers it into pipes under the floor.

As well as being extremely 'green' it is also fantastically efficient (350%!)

If you interested in finding out more about the system, please contact us.
