It starts today.

Well, that's 1 year since I took on my allotment and I sent off a cheque for £15 for a further years tenancy of plot number 17. I have been up to the allotment infrequently but today I managed to get up and plant the early potatoes, some new strawberry plants (3 varieties) and I also put in the last of the onion sets. There is still a lot to bee (pun) done.

Excuse the pun, but I am very excited. It shall not be long now until my bees arrive. I'm hoping to get their hive by the end of this month and today my Bee Suit arrived just in time for the end of my course which takes place at the association apiary on the 27th of this month.

Ok, then! :)

Stunning 'ey?

Well, well. A week or so back I agreed to help my friend's mum with a protest in the local town and to my surprise I was printed in the local newspaper during the week. I read the article but I never saw myself in the picture until it was pointed out to me by my employer at the local newsagents. The protest was to make a point regards the future of Alcester Hospital and how it should be kept it open for the forseeable future.

So it's the start of the faming year today for me, I have gone all broody and I have been inspired my some recipes, hints and tips in a new magazine. So I expect I will be busy over the coming weeks and months.

Thanks for reading,
