Bees

On our way back from Granny's to York, we stopped off at Vegetable Kingdom [again]

and had a great time again. The way all their beds were neat and tidy, did guilt me into working the soil over in the garden today, after we had all gone to the gym. The photo is another from Bekonscot.
There was a lot of bee activity today, the first time they have been out and about for a long time. One managed to drown itself in my tea [still tasted OK]. The friendly pair of Mallard who come every spring are also encamped by our small pond: so spring is here [shame about the arctic wind promised for next week]
