Regain the joy of cooking this Christmas
Christmas is coming and it is a time of year when many families here in the Wye Valley get ready to welcome visitors. This may be just a couple or an entire family group descending on you for the duaration.
Very often this puts a greater than normal strain on the kitchen. With more mouths to feed and a never ending stream of washing up, things that are normally taken as minor inconvenience can turn into major irritations at a time when you should be enjoying yourself.
Take a look around your kitchen. Can you see potential bottlenecks or sticking points that may just serve to tip you over the edge when working flat out to feed the family horde?
The good news is that there is still time before Christmas to re-model your kitchen. Our specialist team has all the experience needed to identify ways in which your kitchen can become not only more beautiful, but also easier to clean, more ergonomic and energy efficient. Call us on the number shown or click in the header of any page to send us an email. With a little help, when the family, with one voice, says Thank you for a lovely Christmas dinner, you can replythat it was your pleasure… and really mean it!
Abenhall is a tiny, ancient village in a secluded quiet valley near Mitcheldean. The parish includes the settlement of Plump Hill, on the Mitcheldean to Cinderford Road as it climbs into the high Forest.
Once part of the Westbury Hundred (which was known as Dene at the time of the 1086 Doomsday book) Abenhall is on the Flaxley to Mitcheldean Road. Originally a mining and iron making centre, it is notable for its 14th century Church of St Michael, which is built of local red sandstone and has excellent contemporary carvings relating to the Forest of Dean's industries. These include a shield bearing the arms of the Freeminers on the west wall and the fabulous mid -15th century octagonal font, that has tools of miners and metalworkers incised on its St Michaels at Abenhall sides.
St. Michael's Church - originally built as a chapel of ease, the church was expanded in the 14th century to include nave, south aisle and tower. The arms of the Freeminers can be seen on the south side of the tower and on the 18th century font. St. Michael's Church - Abenhall is 1.5 km south of Mitcheldean and is set in beautiful surroundings on the edge of the Forest. Old Parish baptism, marriage and burial registers, from 1596, are stored at the Gloucestershire Record Office.
