Bees 1 hour, 3 minutes agoThis takes me back. The local police used to come for my father every time they were notified of a swarm – but thankfully of nothing like this. Usually bees before they swarm stuff themselves with honey for the effort. This makes them very good-natured and placid and easy to handle – but these bees would be alert and defensive…..

Morning all. Brrrr, it was very cold overnight but lovely and calm when I fed the birds. I must walk today as I haven’t walked since tuesday and I must stop comfort eating as I am getting bloated
Courgette soup for lunch, perhaps 
Lots tomdo in the garden if it stays dry but showers are forecast for this afternoon. However, I’m loking…[Read more]-
Yes, I’ve got courgette soup on the cards, too, Cilla! We’ve been watching Killing Eve on iplayer – no spoiler alert from me though
Off out to skip while the wind is somewhere else. Have a lovely day. Hope you get your walk 
-
I just can’t reconcile the words “Cilla” and “bloating” in one sentence – but I suppose being really careful about how you look, helps to keep you trim and bloat-free (which you are).

I have looked out my jelly pan and two jelly bags for my younger daughter who will be coming down mid-morning to pick them up. I feel like a runner in a relay race passing on the baton of home jam-making – in this case she will be making some jars of gloriously amber apple jelly – and I won’t have to. Think that’s a win-win.
-
Brilliant, Sheila! The description ‘amber apple jelly’ sounds lovely and I hope she continues your culinary expertise, passing some on to you for taste testing purposes obviously. A relay race is apt because of the timing, I presume! Have a good day!
-
It was really my mother who started the tradition – I think she was scarred psychologically by wartime rationing, and when she was let loose on an orchard in the ’40s, she went mad – but as she was also an artist, we were always being asked to admire the clarity and depth of colour of what she made. It became a habit.

Good morning Bean. Amber jelly sounds, and looks,I’m sure, delicious. I’ve never been a jam maker apart from some rhubarb marmalade I made years ago. But we don’t eat much jam or marmalade nowadays
I’m rather partial to lemon cheese, though. I hope you have some good weather up there today for your painting.-
Good morning Cilla and Jane. I’ve been thinking of marrow and ginger jam recently – just in order not to let the bl**dy courgettes have the last word. Wonder if marrows contain pectin – must find out.

Morning clickers
it’s getting a lot cooler – cramp last night and not nice! The weather is flat and grey but it’s bound to wake up and do something or other at some point today Typical Saturday of reading the paper and hopefully some pottering. Have a good day everyone -
Commiserations on the cramp, Jane – the condition and I are old adveraries, and it is blooming sore. No rain here at the moment – and I hope to do some outside painting after I prepare some apples for the slow cooker.
-
Morning Jane and Bean. Poor you, Jane, cramp is horrible. I find that if I try and relax everything and take deep breaths, it helps. Are you reading a good’un? Enjoy your day and have a good potter

Morning Sheila and Cilla
I usually crawl out of bed and try and walk around the room until it goes but I didn’t and it serves me right Is that over your front door, Sheila – ie the reason you were in your loft? Hope it’s not a lot of work.
I’m reading ‘Siren’ by John Knox, Cilla – a gritty detective story based in M/C but I’ll be glad to…[Read more]-
I probably have read it but I can’t remember, I’ll google it. I’m reading another Lynda La Plante, Anna Travis detective one……always good. I must order the latest Angela Marson from the library.
-
Yes, I have read it.

-
Couldn’t repair the stone over the front door yesterday because of rain – will be painting coping stones down near the road, and possibly external window cills today.

What a game I had today, played at Clandon Golf Club near Guildford for the first time and won the game. Very windy and being on the chalk hills of the Surrey Hills. I won with 38 points and hubby had 30 points and all the others were well under that.

Evening lovely clickers. Phew, what a blustery day. I went in the garden this afternoon and cut down the sunflowers and one bean plant, lythrum and meadowsweet…..fair wears you out gardening in the wind Managed to nip up to a friends for a quick chat. It is lovely and warm in the conservatory…….warming up the bottle of red a treat :-)…-
Evening Cilla,are you feeling brighter today?
Yes it’s been a blustery day here too, not much damage, a fair few bits of willow all moved the garden and one broken dahlia it’s was a new one for this year and about to flower haven’t checked all the others yet, it’s got cold here does have a small fire going, so the lounge is feeling very…[Read more] -
What a good idea Cilla
Bon appetit -
Hello Lynn. I missed you yesterday. What a shame about your dahlia, my cosmos in pots keep falling over and breaking as they have grown leggy. I’m okay if I don’t think too much, thank you, but everyone here is in shock as you can imagine. I hope you have a calmer saturday.
