DIKSMUIDE TWINNING

Ellesmere is today hosting some guests from our twin town of Diksmuide - welcome to you all.

HERONWATCH 2012 SEASON

The launch of this year's Heronwatch season is on 4th & 5th Feb 2012 at The Boathouse Visitor Centre at 11:00am.
 Do come along & see the herons start setting up the nests ready for their eggs, we have 4 cameras watching nests this year and we are hoping to expand if we can find sponsorship!
The herons are already starting to come back and  pick nests so there should be plenty of action on screen!

Characters of the Mere (4)

"J" hard at work

J started coming to help out at the Mere as part of his Duke of Edinburgh bronze award scheme...he enjoyed it so much that even though the DofE period has finished, he still turns up to help out. Well done & my grateful thanks for the effort you put in (& still keep smiling!)

Christmas Lunch

Christmas at The Boathouse

Just a brief message & photo  - this is where my loved ones & I had our Christmas get together - great food & great atmosphere (this was before we made the table a bit messier!)

2012

guess what this sculpture is called?

Well, it's 2012 and I've been remiss in not putting on any posts for AGES!! So sorry - my excuse is pressure of work & lack of computer access...I will try to do better in future.
 As for The Mere, things have been moving along, with all the new sculptures in place. Along with this one, we have The Conker and The Seed Pod, so do come along for a late winter trudge & see them. Also, work is being done on Neddy Jebbs island (also known as Dead Mans Island) to turn it back into a full island again, with the angling club having some fishing pegs out onto the mere.
