News from Killure Lodge

We have put a new website together it is nearly completed so have a look and if you feel that we need to change or make it better please let us know.
We have also painted the railings on the front of the Lodge, it is a 'Labour of Love' as it takes a lot of prepairing and then applying the paint, this was made more easy this year with the good fine weather. We hope that it will last for a few years before it needs another coat.
We are getting a 'Gardner ' in to help with design of the Garden and have it more easily managed.
It is small but enclosed a good holding pen for children.
The Solar panels are working well but we had to have the control panels replaced as they were not working at their best, but it is great to have hot water nearly for free from the Sun, this is part of our efforts to make our premises more 'Eco' friendly, this coupled with our recycling bins where we recycle all left overs, e.g bottles, plastic and we are now only putting less than 33% into Landfill.
Our next part of the Project is to install a woodchip burner, this we hope to start on this Autumn, it will make our heating totally sourced from the Farm and will not be dependent on Fossil Fuels ever again for Heating, this is a major cost and will have a pay back of Ten (10) years which could be argued that it is not worth the cost or effort, but we are determined to proceed.
