They looked after their eggs day and night on a floating island for about 40 days, and we are so happy that all five eggs hatched🥹👏🏻

Now we have 5 healthy little cygnets on the lake, and we get to watch them grow🥰

Welcome to the world, little ones!

Busman’s holiday?!
No! Punter’s holiday‼️

We had some fantastic time punting in Cambridge & Canterbury UK 🇬🇧 while we are closed in winter.

We wanted to bring Captain Max (our boss dog🐾) but we couldn’t so we brought Mini Captain Max with us .on.a.cup 🐶

It was so lovely to meet up with our lovely ex punters who lives in the UK♥️

Special thanks to Archie who punted us in Cambridge Gemma
Alfie & Bradley

We’ll be open from 1st of September and we are already looking forward being back on the lake🌸🐣🌿
