Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

We have a little village Whatsapp group and some villagers have put some very spectacular pictures on there, of the aurora last night!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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…..🙂

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

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…..🙂
