What a “busy” day

Chris collected 28 eggs to take to a local Primary school where his daughter in law works. They will put the eggs under a broody hen or in an incubator and the children will be able to wait and then watch chicks hatching

Down in the vineyard our new residents needed to be moved to their new residence

I said that I wouldn’t help – but that was before they arrived. Thanks to friend Kate I have her old beekeeping suit and on it went
The bees are now in their new hive

Sitting in the courtyard at The Hairdresser!!!!

The hairdresser rented a perfectly good premises off St Neots high street. She had started the business from scratch, decorated and fitted it and she worked hard for five long years. It was busy and bustling. During the pandemic the landlord gave her a rent holiday in the first lockdown but refused to give her a rent holiday during the second. To add insult to injury he decided to put up the rent! He now has an empty shop and she has rented a small unit alongside a tattoo parlour and another salon and a Botox beautician on an industrial estate on the edge of town. Good luck to her.

Room for two and no employees now – just one other hairdresser with whom she shares the space.

An extraordinary achievement in extraordinary times

This morning at 9.30 am Dame Vivien Rose was sworn in as a member of The Supreme Court of this land.

Dame Vivien’s husband Dr Bernie Bulkin helped her her put on the robe previously worn by Baroness Hale

Henceforth Dane Vivien will be known as Lady Rose of Colmworth Click below for part of her oath

I was so moved by the simplicity and dignity of the ceremony which was especially difficult in these strange times. I am also honoured and delighted to call Lady Justice Rose of Colmworth a friend and one who well deserves this high legal appointment. She will serve the law, this country and the rule of justice without fear or favour and I wish her huge congratulations.
