Getting the hang of it

With a not inconsiderable amount of technical support, I am gradually adding functionality to my site.

Today it is blog links. First added is from a good friend of mine who blogs about creating a garden on the Anglesey coast. I have seen it and it is gorgeous (the garden that is, not just the blog).

We share a love of gardening and the outdoors. Beekeeping of course feeds into this and has gone hand in hand for me, as we have a dozen fruit trees currently in blossom and benefiting from the bees in residence.

Yesterday I spent some time finding the queen in our strongest colony to mark her. This is a painless process that makes her easier to spot. The colonies are building up well with healthy bees and a lots of brood (the raised cells in the picture below).

  1. Andy, I’ve been totally amiss and only just caught up with your blog! It’s brilliant. Hope you’ve enjoyed another gorgeous day and I’ll be checking back for updates :).

    1. Thanks Jess. I know it can’t last, but we do seem to have had wall to wall sunshine since I left. It was 30 degrees in the sun on our garden wall yesterday at 6pm 🙂
      Mind you it does mean that I seem to have been spending half my time watering the 400 plug plants and veggie seeds we have been growing. All 5 waterbutts are now empty.
      But today I must finish off my Austin Seven talk. Have a bacon bagel for me.
