Hungry

After the market today, I headed home with the intention of spending a quiet afternoon making a birthday cake for a special friend…. But no, the first thing I spotted was a swarm of bees hanging from an apples tree. Bee suits on, shake them into box, retreat.
I made it back to the kitchen before Rob reported that they were all back in the tree again. Bee suits on, shake into box, retreat…
This time they decided to stay put.
Back to the cake, and the baking went well. I even had time to plant a few lettuces and do some watering.
We thought we deserved a meal at the Watermill after all that, and it was a good decision. It wasn’t busy, the food was freshly cooked, and the Shi-tzu Faced was at the perfect temp!
Tomorrow after delivering the special cake we may get an afternoon of leisure, bees permitting!
