We would just like to let everyone know that John and I exchanged contracts on Tuesday, with Robert Roebuck and Angela Dunlop, who are now the new owners of Orchard Farm! They are very excited about coming to live in Parwich.
They move in on Thursday 15th and we know everyone will make them feel very welcome. We are so pleased that they are very keen to take on Tom’s and Douglas’s Barns. We have loved our 30+ years at Orchard Farm, and 15+ years of running the holiday cottages; we shall miss both a very great deal but are very happy the way things have turned out and warmly welcome Angela and Robert.
Happily we are staying in Parwich, renting Hallgates for the time being while we look for somewhere to buy, hopefully in the village. We are now in complete chaos in two houses at the moment, and thank you so much to all the kind souls who have popped in to offer practical help and comfort! It is much appreciated.
The final move is on Tuesday, possibly running over onto Wednesday when we will finally close the door on that part of our lives…
(You may be relieved to know that birds are already coming to the feeders John has put up at Hallgates!)

All the very best for your move John and Marion
Thank you very much Lynda. We need it!
SO many people have rented Hall Gates… Congratulations and good luck with the move and search.
Wishing you both all the best for the future.
