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...)
