Oh, the weather outside is frightful.....

Don't get me wrong, it's not snowing or anything but the weather is dreadful. Yesterday along with just about everyone else in the U.K. we had the slashing rain, thunder and lightning and driving hail, but at least that was short lived. Now it's just rains....miserable dreary mizzly (yes I'm well aware that isn't even really a word but with our climate it needs to be added to the dictionary!) rain!!

so what have I done??? Took advantage of using the computer and finally got caught up with some of my favourite blogs whilst at the same time feeling shamefully embarrassed that it's so long since I have looked at their posts or even written a post on my own blog. 

I will keen my blog going it's just his time of year there is so little to say and nothing really to lift peoples spirits. I haven't really made any firm plans for the spring yet and I know that as I was behind last year things will be tough starting out in the spring...but I think I will actually embrace the vigour of that when I can finally get stuck into things again.

Things should be a little less hectic this year. Whilst the bee plot isn't sorted totally it is well on it's way and titivation can continue throughout the year at a pretty much leisurely pace as and when I have the time. I won't be doing Kate's plot this year as it was a one off to give her some time to think. Incidentally Kate decided that she wanted to keep the plot so will be carrying on this year and without that extra land things should be so much easier. I was thinking of backing off a little more and resigning from the committee this year but I couldn't do it when I found out my friend had been nominated for chair...so I will hang around another year and see how things pan out.

An extra that I have taken on this year is obviously the bees but they don't take up much of your time although I am on the committee there too...something to do with 'publicity' and soon to take over membership. With the publicity side of things I have set up a blog called Grantham Beekeepers. It is very early days yet but I would love for you all to go over and check it out. It's not just designed for the members of Grantham to read but will hopefully in time have many followers interested in things they can do to help the bees and I am hoping to get stories, photos and anecdotes from people all over. Obviously at times some of the posts may only be interesting to people who keep bees but I am trying to keep it as light hearted as possible so please go over and check it out...see what we have got up to so far and follow us too. The more the merrier. Oh, and if you have any photos or stories then feel free to get in touch, I will gladly take any extra input.

Well I think that is about all for today...kind of feel all I've done is have a little whine and then advertise the bee blog...but I feel quite proud to have caught up with you all and I will be back tomorrow with some photos for you to look at!!

Happy Sunday!.
