Sara has always felt that if you don't love what you do it shows in your work so she went back to a medium she discovered when she was a teenager, polymer clay! Immediately she was able to produce bright, wild patterns which could be made in any colour! Sara mixes her own colours and designs all of her own patterns, everything customers buy is entirely handmade.

The following year Sarah underwent a summer of Radiotherapy, which was very draining but successful.
Covid came along and rocked everybody's world, however, it provided Sarah with an opportunity to start a new little business, initially as a hobby, making wax melts for herself and to gift to friends and family.

When starting her business Nicola (founder) began with RESEARCH, and lots of it! She knew that she needed to create something special that not only meant something to her and catered to her hunger for creation, but also sang to her heart and personal beliefs and ethos. Nicola spent years studying the intricacy of aromatherapy, observing nature, the world outside and the world within.

When she finally began to create her products, she painstakingly, through trial and error developed her own unique blend of scents, applying them to the range. Nicola wanted everything to be exactly as she had envisioned, making sure to ethically source every piece of ingredient and material used. Throughout her journey, Nicola has never stopped learning, creating and enjoying her craft. Every step of the way has been its own little challenge, but each new thing she learns is something else she can offer the world, be it a simple candle made with ethically sourced pure essential oils or a new blend of scent for room sprays or diffusers that aren’t full of nasty chemicals.

Easter Table Set-Up in Woodpecker Cabin @ Happy Valley Norfolk

Easter is a beautiful holiday, it’s a time to celebrate the Spring, rebirth, a new awakening and endless opportunity as the sun rays stay out a little longer warming the earth.

At Happy Valley, buds are starting to open and reveal shoots of new growth of leaves, the pond is glistening with the light from the sun, daffodils are spread amongst the grass and the birds are tweeting a new spring chorus. 

Hot Cross Buns & Hot Chocolate in the cosy Keepers Cabin @ Happy Valley Norfolk

Imagine setting up an Easter egg hunt for your little family throughout the woodland surrounding your private cabin, tucking into hot cross buns on the wrap around porch surrounding Keepers Cabin, preparing an Easter feast while looking out of the framed picture windows onto a woodland landscape watching the squirrels play mischievously together up and down the trees. Imagine watching the sunset from the west of the site, breathing deeply, immersed in nature, inhaling the forest with the possibility of an even better day tomorrow. Taking a well deserved dip in the bubbling hot tub, underneath the trees looking up at a sky full of stars thanks to Happy Valley being a dark sky site. 

To me, that sounds like a slice of heaven on earth. A trip to remember and the lucky guests who have booked with us for the Easter weekend will be able to experience all of that and more.
