Anything is better outside
Anything is better outside!
When Listening to a Tik Tok/Instagram video by A Mug of Life one of the interviewees (Val) said about drinking her cup of tea the “Anything is better outside”
This resonated with me as one of the things I most like about GlenMyu Estate is that we can spend so much of the year outside.
When we lived in London, the weather conditions drove us inside for much of the year.
Living in Sri Lanka in the Hill Country, our lives have changed for the better.
We can live a lot of the year enjoying the five acre estate. It was unexpected as we did think that it rained more here than it actually does.
At the pool
Surrounded by nature, the swimming pool at GlenMyu Estate is a magical place.Â
The refreshing water which is sourced from a spring on the property, is cool and makes you feel alive.
It is wonderful swimming surrounded by the greenery whilst listening to the birds.
You may even be joined by one of our rescue dogs while you relax and soak up the sun.
Enjoying nature on the five acre estate
When the five acre estate was purchased it has remained fallow for several years.
It took some more time before we moved to Sri Lankan to start work.
The aim was to create an oasis for people and animals. We have planted lots of different plants and trees to attract and feed the wildlife that visits the estate.
Working with the landscape  and retaining its’ features has allowed natures beauty to shine through.Â
Cooking outside
The vegetables, fruits and spices that we grow at GlenMyu Estate are used as ingredients for what we cook for our guests.
Our menu consists of both Sri Lankan and Western fusion dishes. You can see what we offer by reading our menu.
Many of our guests enjoy the Sri Lankan cookery demonstration hosted by Ru and her mother.Â
It’s complimentary when our guests order our Sri Lankan sharing platter.
Dining Alfresco
If there is one thing that is better outside, it is eating a delicious meal surrounded by nature.
Dining alfresco when the snow is on the ground in Northern Europe is one of the great memories guests have at GlenMyu Estate.
Is there anything better than eating outside?
Seeing what we grow
Fortunately, the climate in the Sri Lankan hill country means that we can grow a variety of crops at GlenMyu Estate.
Much of the produce is used in the dishes that we serve to our guests. As we do not use any chemicals or pesticides at the estate, you know that you are eating good organic food.
Ru regularly offers a garden tour for guests that are interested. It’s and enjoyable experience out in the fresh air discovering what fruits, vegetables and spices we grow on the estate.
When you need to spend time inside
Living in the Sri Lankan Hill country is amazing as the weather can change often and quickly.
One of the benefits about staying at GlenMyu Estate is that there is plenty of space to relax inside when the weather encourages you in.
We have been surprised on how much better the weather is in the hills. The result is that we have been able to spend a lot more of the year outside.Â
Fresh air, space, nature ...it's good for you
The combination of fresh air, space and being closer to nature makes you feel good.
