Geoff Arrives on His New Set of Wheels to Visit Us!

Our friend Geoff lives in a tiny neighbouring village just a mile away from us.  Most Sunday mornings he comes to Alton to collect his paper, then calls in to see us for a cuppa.

We've know Geoff for quite a while and over the years he's turned up in various cars, pickups and trucks.  Imagine our surprise and delight when recently he arrived by tractor for his usual Sunday morning gossip!

 

For weeks Geoff has been telling us all about the tractor he'd purchased and the work it was taking to put what was a bit of a wreck into good working order.  There have been plenty of ups and downs during the project with parts not fitting, oil leaks and lots of preparation to do before any painting could take place.  After lots of hard work and a bit of help here and there Geoff has finished work on the tractor, so quite rightly he couldn't resist showing it off to us.  We're not surprised that he's pleased with his efforts the tractor looked fantastic and so clean you could eat your dinner off it!  Not sure it will look this clean next time we see it as it's bound to have done a job or two!  

Happy New Year!

Very best wishes from all at The Malthouse B&B to our guests, friends and relations. 

We hope that 2014 is a very happy, prosperous and healthy year for you.   

 

 

If you're out celebrating tonight hope you have a great time!
Look forward to seeing you next year!

Merry Christmas from The Malthouse!

Hi everyone!

Now that Christmas Eve has arrived it's all systems go here at The Malthouse!
Hope you're busy getting ready for the big day tomorrow. 
Lets hope you've been good so that Santa delivers you a lovely present or two!

Over the last 24 hours the weather here's been very blustery with plenty of rain and it looks as though there's more to come soon but so far compared to some areas we've lucky and have got off pretty lightly.  This morning the sun has been out for a while so our dog Poppy has been out for a walk in the village wearing her Santa Suit - well it is Christmas after all!

Poppy and our cat Smudge have been especially good lately so Santa is bound to leave a few gifts for them under our Christmas Tree.

We're about to start on our second glass of mulled wine, so before we get too merry we would like to wish all our guests, friends and relations a safe and very happy Christmas. xxx
