December – disappeared – done and dusted!
5 days into the New Year and The Composer finally finds time to pen the latest blog. And not before time! The past month has been frantic, funny, filled with good cheer and an abundance of festive spirit – and not just the liquid kind. As November ended, the festive season seemed a way off…
November – a month to celebrate
The Composer is on top of the world! He’s been celebrating all month. Well, following the usual fireworks, the month has sparkled non stop with celebrations. It started after Guy Fawkes had become a mere ember on his own bonfire with the arrival of guests to ‘Composers’. Not such an auspicious occasion? Welcoming guests, week…
Mists and being missed
The Composer missed it. Missed what? Most of the mellow mists and fruitfulness of Autumn! Well it seems like that. To be honest, it seemed to have slipped in and out while the Composer and Mrs Composer were taking much needed R&R. At the beginning of October, after frantic few weeks and weekends of work,…
Mind your language….please!!
The Composer thinks he is ‘au fait’ with the English language. Over the past months, when asking guests about their accommodation, the places they visit or other questions about their stay, the variety of answers has been bewildering. “Why?” you may well ask. Well, the grammatical language we associate with those answers seem to have…
No it isn’t!
No, it isn’t what? Well first of all, it is not autumn and it’s not time to put the clocks back and finally……it’s not time to hibernate until next year. The Composer could not believe his ears. 1st September BBC news declares ‘its officially autumn’. Well it may be to weather folk bundling the year…
Holiday Mode
What is ‘Holiday Mode’? The Composer just loves these months. The ‘summer’ is with us and Holiday Mode has arrived. It’s the time to shake off the 9-5 grind or the daily round of work, whatever that may be, and really R E L A X. Here at ‘Composers’ we invite everyone to enjoy the…
Flamin’ June
It arrived in the nick of time to qualify for its title – Flamin’ June! The Composers was resigned to a….. ‘warm and dry’, ‘slightly above average for the time of year’ or even a ‘slightly changeable’ weather forecast from the BBC weather people or the visual personification via the BBC weather ‘App’ – where…
May – be, May – be not
Given the amount of to-ing and fro-ing we’ve seen over the past weeks and the countless ‘may-be’ and ‘may-be not’ answers from politicians as we are directed towards the Polling Booths, will you forgive ‘The Composer’ from feeling just a bit tired of the whole business of ‘making your mind up’ (Eurovision comments are now…
It’s just ‘Grand’ up North
The ‘Composer’ and Mrs C are using the word ‘GRAND’ a lot! April has been GRAND, the weather throughout the month has been GRAND, the accommodation is looking GRAND, the gardens and landscape areas are looking equally GRAND and finally, it is with some pride that The Composer and Mrs C are both feeling GRAND…
What happened?
Well, how time flies when you are having fun! Our monthly Blog has suddenly lost February! What happened? Well, we were having such fun we simply missed it – a bit like the March eclipse!! Yes, what happened there? Another momentous event which happened (or did it?) but was so slight in Berwick that between…
