An Interview with my 5 Year Old Son

Me; If you were in charge of the world what would you do?
Him; I would buy everybody, all the persons in the world.
Me; What would you do with them?
Him; I would line them up and count how many there is.
Me; What would you then do with them?
Him; I would put them in a house and make a family, 2,3,4,5,6 in this house or maybe 7,8 in any house
Me; What would you do all day
Him; Go and see friend's and play, that's it!

Bees, A Swarm and a Baby Owl

And I am now back, NOT in South Africa melting in 44 degrees but rather experiencing the 'sunny spells' or not as the case may be back in the U.K!
Two lovely things have happened this week, a swarm of bees have moved, swarmed, clustered....(!?) in to the huge oak tree outside of our cottage and there is a small baby owl living in the eaves of next door's roof. As I opened our bathroom skylight, the small baby owl and I clocked each other. I then went to poke the kids out of the same window and the owl had vanished, as owls do.

Also, note to self; when bees are swarming, do not to say to the kids it is fine to be outside, they are just finding a home. Whilst husband shouts 'Children IN QUICKLY!'

P.S No children or bees were harmed...phew.

So my thought for the day is to look upwards, there is alot going on up there!

(the neighbour put scaffolding up and a hive next to the tree to entice them in, as yet they are not having any of it...)
