Lovely morning chit-chat thread- March 2025

Yes I very much enjoyed it too. Maybe we can give it another try next week and see if folk will abide by the rules ?  xx

love Angie and Lilly xx

P.S. Kate, I am a great fan of Norah Jones too xx 

Delicious hobby Ian, we buy our honey from the local bee keeper on the allotment, glass costs 5 Euros here, I've seen how it's made, no additives, no nothing. Go to the supermarket it's honey from non-EU and EU countries at 8 Euros and quality is crap. Keep up the good work

I thought it was interest, when Ian was explaining it to me.

Jar I meant, been away from UK far too long lol

Thank you Patrick, It’s great when people appreciate what real honey is use beekeepers do spend a lot of time trying to explain to people. you are so right about supermarket honey. Honey fraud is a big problem in the UK and EU we have lots of rules we have to follow which those outside don’t. Most of the non EU comes from China and is just sugar and water mixed with a bit of real honey.

Ellie.They really are fascinating creatures far more intelligent than we know.

At the moment inside the hive everything will be gone into overdrive with the bee getting ready for the spring/summer months.

The best thing I can do for them is to leave them alone and just make sure they have enough food to get them there. In the next few weeks I will have to start weekly inspections. So if people are interested I’ll start a new thread with weekly updates maybe start a new hive call it The Incurable hive and have our own virtual hive.

Well for me that will be really interesting, and for others i would say, yes start a thread, i look forward to it.

So this morning I received a call from what I thought was the hospital.

The conversation went something like this.

Hello Ian,we have got the results in about your head. As I have metastatic lesions on the base of my skull I thought they had found something on one of my scans.

Unfortunately yours is an old model and no longer available however we can replace it with a newer model for £110.
It was at this point I realised I was talking to the vacuum repair man who I had dropped my vac off with last week

True story 

Ian

OMG , that must be the laugh of the day. Its made my day

It’s made me smile all day
