HOBBIES FOR YOUR HUT

As the nights draw in, here are some ideas to keep you occupied during the darker months

Satisfy that burning creativity

With its well-equipped kitchen, your Blackdown Shepherd Hut is the ideal place to try out an activity such as candle making. It can be blowing a hooley outside, but you’ll be snug as a bug creating beautiful candles to either gift or enjoy yourself.

Not such a half-baked idea

Keep your regular kitchen for the everyday and designate your hut’s hand-crafted kitchen as a mini bakery. Whip up a cake or loaf of sourdough and, while your creation is rising, you can flick through your favourite mag ( The Simple Things, of course), free from distractions.

Game changer

Nothing creates memories more than a family games night. Grab the classics, switch on some music, and crank up the competitiveness. The cosy dining nook in the Turnkey Hut is the ideal place for some light competition and a lot of laughs.

Starry, starry night

Imagine sleeping under the stars, but in the comfort of your shepherd hut. Blackdown’s bespoke curved glass roof window provides the ideal vantage point for snuggling up and watching a fiery meteor shower, or perhaps the calming constellations.

Create a writing room

Whether it’s offloading your day into a journal or jotting down a few notes to a friend on a postcard, your hut can be the simple sanctuary needed to switch off and allow your train of thought to flow onto paper.

Embrace a wet afternoon. Steal an hour or two to yourself, light a fire or simply a candle, and curl up with a good book and your imagination.
