I have heard from my friend who is active in the local bee-keeping association and lives in locally to Enderby - he is happy to let you have his email to give you advice, I will PM it.

Here's an extract from an article in the Amateur Gardening Gardening Magazine." A bonkers plan to threatened to cut the range of plants available to UK amateur gardeners has been given the boot by Brussels. The EU "unanimously" rejected the proposal, which would have meant that all...

Great shots Jiffy! I have bats flying around my area but haven't seen or heard any yet this year. My other half has a phobia of them.

That's 8hrs (4 x 2hrs) in the evenings plus another 8hrs (4 x 2hrs) on Sundays all for £65, so only £4.06/hr. I've attended several courses here (not bee keeping, run by the likes of Alan Beat who writes in 'Country Smallholding', formerly Practical Self Sufficiency ) where they have a full...

Yes but I've been feeding the birds for many years and in that time there's been snow and sometimes it's even lasted for longer than a day!!

I'm just relieved I read Spruces post before I suggested a discovery of a new species....

haha brilliant!

Some lovely photos there Armandii. Have moved the box to the little wilderness at the end of the garden, hopefully they'll be happy there.

Naaaah!!!!!
