I thought we might be down on bee numbers this year, after the long wet Winter but, seems quite the opposite…. lots of Honey bees about and I can’t remember seeing so many different types of Bumbles about.

Going by the amount of Queen Wasps and Hornets that are flying around looking for suitable nest sites, we are going to be inundated with them this year!

Feels rather hot out there today…..makes your hair rustle like pea straw…..

You will get there, Burnie and your positive attitude will go a long way towards it!

Looks like another beautiful day, awaits us….

A lot brighter today…..what a difference a little sun makes!

Evening, Jan, that’s brilliant news, let’s hope they have plenty of young ones!

Beautiful…..
Nice start to the day but, it’s now raining heavily……a real shame, as I was getting on well over the allotments!

Been busy potting up plants in the glasshouse and there has been a beautiful Thrush singing it’s heart out, in the top of the big Ash tree, just behind us……perfect!

A good bit of filming, Burnie….nice to have them back!

A lovely bright day here today, a real bit of warmth in the sun but, just too wet to go walking about on the allotments…. maybe tomorrow!

Thought I would bring this topic up again, as it is Beryl’s Birthday…..

Rain all day here and still raining now……but a little sun tomorrow!

I feel quite guilty now, Burnie……hopefully you will get a brighter day tomorrow!

Had a couple of hours over the allotments after lunch, and managed to get my bean canes up and 70 runner beans planted too, so very pleased, as it started raining heavily just as I had finished…..

Johnboy used to love the first sighting of the Swallows!

Lovely and warm here, showers forecast for this afternoon….and the Swallows are now here in Milton Bryan!

I’m starting to get arthritis is many joints now and i’m sure it’s certain foods that make it worse!
Turned out nice now but, many large puddles still laying about…..at least it’s going to warm up next week, so at least the weeds will take off….
