Our Show Shepherds Hut has been sold to a local Campsite who are using it as an office at the entrance to their site. We're pleased that the Shepherds Hut is still in the New Forest but it was sad to see it go as it was quite a feature outside the Owls Barn Farm Shop at Sopley - I know Ron and Liz are now wondering what else they can put in the empty space while we're building our new Show Shepherds Hut! The owners of the campsite (and new owners of the New Forest Shepherds Hut Show Hut) are kindly allowing us to take our customers by appointment to view the Shepherds Hut until we build a new Show Hut. |

We gave our New Forest Show Shepherds Hut a Spring clean yesterday. I bought 3 packs of wipes from the £1 shop. Dusted the dado and window frames with one. Wiped the Oak floor over with wood floor wipe. Cleaned windows with glass cleaning wipe. Took about 5 minutes! That's the sort of Spring cleaning I like!  Actually, we do that on a regular basis - Some people think of Shepherds Huts as, well, huts! Our New Forest Shepherds Huts are bright and modern inside, and with the room height domed ceilings and the materials and paints we use the Shepherds huts always stay fresh and bright. We have a basket of logs by the woodburning stove which smell gorgeous! I think its very appropriate that a New Forest Shepherds Hut should smell of the New Forest! |

 We have a client who lives in the New Forest down a quiet country track - they're having their New Forest Shepherds Hut delivered in a couple of months and it will be sited in the most beautiful position overlooking the heathland of the Forest! We visited the site today and the Forestry Commission were carrying out controlled burning. The gorse and heather is burned to encourage new growth of a variety of plants, as well as providing food for the forest's ponies, donkeys and cattle. |

 We've just arranged a, well I won't say Baby Shower because that sounds a bit like " come along and see the expectant mother, expecting a present, that is!" - more of a get together before my daughter has her baby and no gifts required. We're planning it for May, when hopefully the weather will be warm. We're going to decorated the Shepherds Hut in the garden with blue balloons (it's a boy) and bunting, there will be bucks fizz (for those who can), cups of tea with floral cups and saucers, cup cakes, etc. |

 We're building a new Show Hut, smaller and easier to transport to shows on the back of a trailer so we're selling our current Show Shepherds Hut at a greatly reduced price!! Here is a brief description:- Completed last Summer and taken to 2 shows, absolutely immaculate and unblemished This New Forest Shepherds Hut measures 4.2 x 2.1m internally, wide enough to fit a bed length ways and long enough to have a desk too. Fully insulated to building standards for all year round use Double glazed, double opening cottage windows and single window |

 I know it sounds strange, but love rainy days like today! Lovely walk in the New Forest, which is quiet even on the nicest of days, but will probably be completely deserted today. Sometimes we like a nice walk along the Beach at Bournemouth or Poole where it's lovely to see all human (and canine) life. But also lovely to walk for miles in the Forest without seeing a single sole (in this weather, just as well, frizzy hair poking out from under a soaking wet hood is not the best of looks! |

 It was as children, growing up in the Hampshire countryside, that we knew and loved a Shepherds Hut, hidden quietly in the corner of a field and used by 3 generations of our family as a hideaway, playroom, to talk, to read, work and relax. Our Shepherds Hut was even used by a newly wedded couple, decorated with candles and flowers, the stove lit – magical and truly romantic! The memory of our wonderful old Shepherds hut inspired us to build our first Shepherds Hut in a Barn at Holt, Dorset. |

 We've had an enquiry from a couple, getting married in August, 2013 - they want to hire a Shepherds Hut for their wedding bridal suite! What a fantastic, romantic idea! They live in West Berkshire and the reception is being held in Wiltshire. Unfortunately, we don't hire out Shepherds Huts so this is just a call to see if anyone has a Shepherds Hut they would be happy to rent out to them??? Probably have to be in their local area because of transport costs. |

 We thoroughly enjoyed watching The Dales presented by Ade Edmonson on Monday evening! He spent the night in a traditional Shepherds Hut, what an absolutely idyllic location! This particular Shepherds Hut is on a Farm in Yorkshire and is rented out to walkers. Snug and Comfortable inside the gorgeous Shepherds Hut with a river running nearby - Our Shepherds Huts are fully insulated (up to building standards for a timber home!) and can be used all year round with electrics and a wood burning stove! |

 What beautiful weather we've been having down here in the New Forest! We're looking forward to Spring, enquiries for New Forest Shepherds Huts have increased as we're all looking at our gardens and thinking about getting outside and enjoying the fresh air and getting back to nature over the next few months. |
