Stroll 77 Bridlington to Napperton

A walk that took me from the seaside at Brid, up onto the Wolds by way of an old Roman Road (Woldgate in photo) and finally down to chalk streams at Napperton.

The courgettes have done well this year as well. A glut of courgettes is always a mixed blessing. Great to have, hard to use creatively; soup is usually the best idea.

The vegetable garden has done well this year, in its usual haphazard way. A squash self-seeded in the spring, and has since attempted to take over the entire raised bed. Football sized squashes are on the way.

Ribblehead viaduct always stuns me when it comes into view. 

It's a Family Affair

We drove down to Bicester, collected Rowan from the station, then went up to cousin Gill's for lunch with auntie Alison (96 and going very strong). It was great to see her again, and to have a good chat. In the photo Gill, AA, cousin Richard, Rowan, Danielle and Robert (Gill's husband).

Hard to resist a lonely dead tree, especially if the sun allows for a good black and white image.

Honey. The Product

And here it is, 21 kilos of lovely honey to keep us going for a while.

 

Honey. It's Back

After a three year honey break, we are back in business. The new queen who arrived in June has delivered the goods. Danielle is holding one of the frames full of honey.
