Return of the bees

Just picked up my new replacement bees. Thanks Anthony and Anne at Hill View. Put them in their new hive this evening. Managed to get stung by a bee that had clung on the suit and got me as I took suit off. Looking forward to beekeeping again. Found a new sheltered spot for the hive under the willow their food source. 

Lambs are all doing well. Found the older lambs jumping all over the male sheep. He seem to find it a good game and just played with them. Brilliant to see the lambs bouncing about the field. 

The piglets seem to be getting on well growing by the day. Running around digging up the pen and seem very happy. 

Ninja is now chief mouse catcher. He does like to bring them in the house through the window alive and play Tom and Jerry. Very cruel boy!! Truffle I don't think has caught anything yet! 

After a fox attack chickens and ducks liking their new enclosure. Mr fix will need wire cutters and a shovel!

Plants are coming on. So are the blackberries!! We are into grass cutting season again. Neighbours garden at the holiday cottage looking good that I look after with all the wild flowers. I must get round to sending them photos.
