Bees hive

Went to field yesterday found bee hive on its side. Floor off lid off, mid section all in tact. No bee suit! Had to pit it back upright praying not to disturb bees. Managed it then worried re if bees still there didn’t look due to no bee suit. Today armed in bee suit and feed went to investigate. Oh yes there are bees there alive and kicking. More interested in feed than me! Excellent news!

Photos of last 4 yrs

Here are the highlights of the last 4 1/2 years in Cornwall I think it gives a clue as to up what I been up to



















































Looking at photos this am made me reflect on the past 4 and 1/2 years. There has been highs there has been lows. There has been times I wasn't sure if I would meet the bills. There has been times in summer too hot with aga and times when been cold 6 degrees in the house as no heating. Livestock I have had success and failure. MR fox a bloody nuisance at the least. Socially not always had the time to put the effort in as paying the bills always been the agenda. I have met some amazing friendly and lovely people. I have met and tried to avoid some less favourable peeps. 

Now new digs with heating and a bath that works, A big craft room and fantastic cooking facilities, New field, Finances ok, Social life in the making. Fingers crossed that all the hard work is paying off.

But all in all giving up an old life and being able to live out a dream that I always had since a child do I regret it. Its been one of the hardest things I have ever done but regret it absolutely not! Would I do it again absolutely! Best thing I ever did. Pray in continues.
