The Guest House Abergavenny

Fresh Produce

Four more ‘babies’ joined our flock on 24 February, meaning that 2013 should see an abundance of freshly laid, free range eggs to serve to guests AND to be made available for purchase. Jenny’s marmalade has proved so popular that we are now selling it. Maybe we should market it as ‘The Guest House Garden Kitchen Produce’?

As regulars will know, Kevin is a bird fancier extraordinaire, and the aviaries are in fine fettle, with an abundance of baby finches, doves, quail, etc. The quail eggs, in season, are served with our smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.

The weather has led to the season being quiet to date, so Kevin and I are using the time to make homemade raspberry jam and marmalade (available for sale to guests). Kevin is totally sick of peeling pith but the boy has to be kept busy!!!

New Duck Pond

Kevin’s idea of incubating duck eggs and the subsequent necessity for a much larger duck pond has proved to be a very expensive exercise. Mind you, as long as Kevin and his ducks are happy and we have a plentiful supply of eggs, does it matter?
