It’s been a strange old week or two – lots of visits to Birmingham as my mother is very poorly and on Friday was admitted to hospital.  It was really nice when yesterday, my partner, David, said he’d told the bees for me.  Well I had already told them we had concerns but it is a lovely tradition to “tell the bees” of all those important events and I’m glad we were of the same mind.  So, I hope it is not all sad news in my future but I will want to tell the bees when significant events happen – even if I feel they already know.
