Wind, rain, wind, rain...oh some seeds!!!!!

Absolutely shocking weather is still prevailing here in the UK and as is usual with us wonderful Brits we are still moaning about it...so maybe I should stop now?? Probably not going to happen!!!

So nothing has been done down the allotment...did go and check on my bees which you can read about here...all be it briefly and also find out a few amazing facts too!!

Now wait a minute whilst I go through my photo archives....shouldn't take too long.........

OK...couldn't find ANYTHING that would kind of make sense in this post so went for randomness....

Sun, sea and sand
Sun, sea and sand.
I'm sure we all have distant memories of the above photo....one day soon they will be back with us and then no doubt most of the Brits will be complaining, 'it's too hot', or 'it's too dry'. There really is no pleasing us..lol

Oh that's right...the seeds! I did manage to get my seed box from the allotment yesterday so now I can sit in the comfort of my cosy house and sort through what I have and what I need...maybe a job for this afternoon after I have done a little paining...I don't think I have told you about that have I? One of my work colleagues is pregnant so I am working on a hand made gift...I think it's coming along quite nicely but I really need to pull my finger out and get it finished as she leaves on Friday. This means I will share it with you before the end of the week.

Happy Sunday everyone. Stay safe.

  2. The sun's trying to shine here at the moment but we've had lots of rain overnight and a downpour already this morning, I don't think we've seen the last of the rain today. I really need to go through my seeds, though I'm pretty sure I've got everything I need, I just want to get everything put in order for when they need to be sowed.

  3. I like the looks of that beach, so much nicer than all the white I see out my window.

    1. I long for summer Ann...the only problem is with the recent high tides I'm not even sure what that beach looks like any more!!

  4. Dear Tanya, I have heard plenty of complaining on this side of the pond too!! lol
    There is more snow in the forecast for this evening. I think winter wants to linger on and on for a bit longer. The garden seems a long way off still.
    Take care and keep cozy and warm. Blessings dear. Catherine xo

  5. I've looked at your bee web page. Those bee facts are amazing. I'm intrigued about 'the fondant' food. It sounds like there's a lot to think about in order to keep happy bees. Your doing a great job there, Tanya. Hope you got your friend's gift finished yesterday and the weather improves this week. Have a good one!

    1. Thanks For taking a look at the bee page Linda. I'm hoping over time I will be able to get more posts up that will be interesting for the general reader and not just us beekeepers....You mentioning the fondant makes me think I should do a post on feeding the bees so I will have a think about that. Thanks for giving me some more ideas and feel free to comment over there too and/or follow!!

    2. It would be really interesting for me as a non beekeeper to know more and appreciate even more this important work of caring for bees.

  6. I cannot wait for the warm weather...now that the holidays are over this winter feels pointless LOL. I was just thinking about getting my seeds started the other day...I cannot wait to start up on the garden.

    Stay warm!

    Toodles,
    Tammy<3

    1. I am the same as you Tammy...once Christmas has passed I would be happy for winter to go with it. I have been thinking about my seeds and even managed to get them home from the allotment...now the tin is just cluttering my side...maybe I'll get around to sorting through them at the weekend!

  7. It's very cold here, but we're headed for a warm up. I like the winter, but I can do without this deep freeze. I'll probably be complaining when it gets too hot outside too though.
