Bee stories: Good and Bad
This month has been both high and low at the apiary. A couple of weeks back we heard that the two hives we have on one site were very quiet. Calamity at the hive tells the story. This weekend we went to visit another site where a further hive stands. This time our work was more positive and involved a visit from the local police too. Police surveillance As we drew up in the carpark, our…

Sharing is blogging
I’ve writt n a post on my other blog about the benefits of blogging. https://learningtechnologylizard.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/blogging-why/ It’s about this blog so I want to share it here too. When I blogged every day for a year I really benefitted from theexperience.

Making a spoon
A few years ago I remember reading a very enthusiastic Facebook post talking about spoon making. At the time I confess I thought it was rather odd that the process of making a simple object that is so easy to buy could inspire so much passion. Spoons? What’s the big deal. In October last year I did a Forest Schools course. During that week we learned how to use hand tools to make simple…

Calamity in the Hive
Keeping bees is a challenge. The bees themselves need to be respected and supported. The bee keeper needs to be conscientious and aware of their needs. The weather plays a part and the challenge of survival in the modern world where human impact is so great is not to be underestimated. The loss of a hive is no longer unusual. When a colony perishes it is a sad day. Any sensible bee keeper is…

Fires -a -burning
I resolved recently to become good at lighting fires. Not a pyromaniac-al aim but a green one. Time has passed and the fire is now a regular feature. Bring on the rebate. I’ve experimented with a number of fuels. New wood We are now on a foraging exercise. In The Netherlands the tradition of ‘New and Old’ or New Year’s Eve also includes fire making. It’s not a glamorous or sophisticated…

Fire lighting
Since I did my Forest Schools course in October I’ve been developing confidence with making fire. Rather than doing this as a public nuisance, I’ve been practicing with our wood burning stove. The stove is a French model that we bought from a renovator a few years back. It’s very compact because the living space is quite small but it’s a great way to boost the heating in the house. Tinder I…

Chicken Run
The hens in our backyard have a chicken run that has a nesting box, floor space and perches. They’ve had it for about four years. When we first got it there were three hens. Some hens didn’t stay long and one is now onto her fifth year. Of course I don’t have a photo of the before. Hens have addictive qualities. This leads to multiplication. Three has become seven. Their home has had a few…

Elderflowers again this time Champagne
They say you can never have too much of a good thing and it seems that currently the elderflower proliferation in our neighborhood is crying out for foraging. After making some cordial from dried flower the other day we collected a huge amount and dried it. We were very careful not to take to much from any one plant but we gathered a large bag full by choosing a few heads from each of several…

Cider Battered Elderflowers
When you undertake choices in life you often do so with a specific goal. For example when you start running you might want to do a marathon. Or when you start knitting you want to make a jumper. It all can hang on completing things too. Making sure your goal is finished. Have you started the book? Have you finished it. When I started being greener I had a few general goals; grow my own,use less…

Goodbye Whale
The hitchhikers guide to the galley features a whale. It is seen floating in space all to briefly before it disappears. It’s a poor recollection but that iconic whale image floats in my mind when I think of whales. Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.…

Pink Sea of Confusion.
The BBC has shared a story today about some waste washed up in a uk marine environment. A very large number of pink detergent bottles. As you can see there’s a lot of them. Now there’s been a number of people alarmed by this environmental disaster. And of course I’m not happy about it however I’m a bit surprised at the reaction. Some of the bottles are leaking, you see, and people are…

Hound dog coat
Visiting our friends in the holidays with their four hairless chihuahua, we learned that a jumper for these little fellas can cost £30. Now that’s a huge investment. And they feel the cold. I had a crochet hook. I had some wool. I had some time. I needed to make up a pattern. I had a look for some but it wasn’t feeling like a pattern sort of day. I’m not very experienced writing patterns…

2015 in review
Here’s an impressive thing. Though it says my longest streak was 176 that was a continuation from the previous year that added up to 365 so I’m quite pleased. Here’s hoping I get back to more regular posts in 2016. Happy new year to you all and thanks for your support! The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at…

That time of year again
It’s hard to buy normal things for the household at this time. There are queues and queues of people and lines and lines of traffic. Time and parking spaces are scarce and everyone seems frustrated to some degree. I’m now at a point where I don’t buy it. The whole seasonal thing. I’ve always been one to ask why we do things and often that takes me in the opposite direction so I’m not clear why…

War time Baking
I’m not much inclined to cook. I can cook but I don’t. Now and again I have a reason to cook and then I get carried away. This week I needed some utility baking for a school project. Rationing biscuits. I found a recipe on a great blog. That’s handy! It was for carrot biscuits. (Watch out if you’re from across the Atlantic. U.K. Biscuits are cookies. US biscuits are more like scones from what…
