‘Beehaving’? If you remember from my last post about the bees they had been ‘mis-beehaving’. I had performed an artificial split only for the half without the queen to be a little lax in creating a queen cell while the haf with the queen swarmed anyway leaving no queen cell behind. I think my actions have helped...
It looks as though my plan to get out as often as possible in as wide a range of conditions as possible on my surf ski has worked. Monday was a gorgeous day for some surf skiiing in the sunshine. The sea was a little choppy with a small swell but I felt quite at...
We had intended to spend the weekend in Barmouth for the Mawddach Paddle Sports Festival but as Saturday was wet and windy we decided just to head up on Sunday for the Mawddach Marathon.

We inadvertently ended up at the Aberaeron Seafood Festival. Aberaeron We decided before...
Saturday turned out to be a lovely day here so we had some summer fun at home. My parents were here and Morgan had a friends staying over. We started the day with some fun on the beach. Morgan and James were out playing on the SUP while I paddled on my surf ski. My...
Beer Subscription – I can’t decide which I like best! To be honest, I ‘like’ all of them but have been trying to work out which is the best value for money and best all round package. A beer subscriptions work in a similar way to any other subscription and how wine clubs have operated...
