Hungry sheep have hay for breakfast. Here’s hoping we get more rain and the grass will then grow. Hay is for winter, grass should be for summer

And if we are lucky there will be more towards the end of the summer.

We were expecting two boxes of frames but wasps have robbed one of the boxes of all its honey 😢

We have had blessed rain at last and the plants have been refreshed.

Sadly, now the TV news is on and I am watching sickening scenes from Swaida in Syria.

Many more dishes on the menu tonight. Courgette and tromboncino soup – cold with cream and chives. Leek bake, lentil Dahl, new potato salad and a green salad and young runner beans – hot with butter.
