Hello again. I looked up some other hotel blogs and realise this space is for selling. Now let's think what will tempt you to visit Langar Hall ? Asparagus is coming into season and our lamb is on the menu. They are also frolicking in the field. Don't cry. They have a short and happy life.
The £160 dinner bed and breakfast for two 'special' has had an amazing response. This is monday night, the hotel & the restaurant are full of couples escaping.
I do miss some of the business men who frequented this place on weeknights before the 'crunch'. Perhaps their budgets have been cut or they are told to drive home. May I remind them of the special rate for single people doing business in the area...£75-85 room & good breakfast. Quote this blog when you book.
No where in the world is better than England on a day like today. The the sun shone, guests sat around in the garden, spring flowers bloomed and the lime trees in the avenue are at their new, lime green best. The beauty of this unique place is what I have to sell today.

Thanks to help from my grand daughter I have managed to do this second blog. Why do they ask so many personal questions? I put Afghanistan down as my country so don't pay any attention to that if you find the questions. Bingham is the centre of my Nottinghamshire English world.
Easter dull and cloudy as usual. May bank holiday is usually worse. But thanks to many loyal and new customers we have had a great weekend rushing around the dining room. We are lucky to have great customers who make every service a joyfull reunion or party.
Those who had time and inclination for a walk found the blossom blooming in the garden, daffs on their way out now, trees coming into leaf. This is the most hopeful time of the year.
On the wireless the other day a very old man who had survived 3 concentration camps during the war was asked how he managed to stay alive. He replied "Hope, cunning and grim determination" That could be a good motto to adopt in these hard times.
All year I have been collecting email addresses, promising to send out a monthly newsletter. Three months later one will be sent off next week. If you don't receive it and would like to be on the email address list just email pascal@langarhall.co.uk
Then if you are messing about on your computer with time to spare please log onto http://www.nottinghamrestaurantawards.co.uk/ and vote for Langar Hall for whatever catagory you think fits. Preferably best out of Town.
Does anyone read these blogs? I'd rather like to read someone else's. Will ask Lila aged 14 how to do that now.
