WOULD YOU BEELIEVE IT?
Aside
I bet you think I’m never going but I just had to tell you this. Our departure is imminent and MTL noticed another swarm outside the gate near the property above us in the lane - comparative new comers. As a neighbourly thing to do MTL phoned them and told them and asked if they would like Julian’s number ( the bee-keeper who would have taken our swarm.)
The neighbours thanked us and said no thank you to the bee-keeper because – guess what - they keep bees! And we almost gave their bees away!
As Quarsan would say 'bluddy ‘ell!'
Back soon – don’t go away!

That was good luck for the bees that you saw them there! (and for their owners).
Pat--you referenced a "shower" on Kath's blog. Just want to make sure I'm pronouncing it correctly when I use it on a friend who "knows everything." Is it "shower" like a bath, or "shower" like "one who shows?"
Thanks!
I trust they will not be victimized by a sudden evacuation. We need all the bees we can get.
I used to catch the big fat bumble bees when I was a baby in a pram and roll them gently between my finger and thumb then let them go. Never got stung and never hurt one. Weird kid that I was.
The house is truly beautiful and you're bound to be having a lovely time!
Happy American/South African Mothers Day Pi hun, I hope that it is a good'n.

Hi,
Just want to say hello!
LOL, LOl...Oh My! Well, a good thing hat the Bee Man didn't just destroy their swarm...!
Have a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL time, Pat.
Great free honey coming up! The cottage looks completely chocolate boxy- enjoy!
Its the interwebby thing. I dont think there is an 'away'.
Judy: it was eagle eyed MTL who spotted them. I wouldn't have recognised the big black clump!
goalie: it is shower as in rain and bathroom. Terry Thomas - an old actor /comedian used to call people 'a perfect shower!' in a posh accent.
Hoss: no-one in this neck of the woods is going to harm the bees - bless 'em!
4D I can see you doing it too!
Thanks Amy - it was all good!
Hi Shyha! Lovely to hear from you!
Thank you Naomi. Back to the grindstone!
Anna : I agree but inside it was extremely practical with all you could possibly need.
meredic: without a laptop - and i am laptopless - one feels 'away':)
