167. Bank Holiday weekend . . .
Living on the Pennine Way, we decided to walk the first 3 days of it. Made it to Sarah's cousin in Keighley - 56 miles, we think (second photo shows our wild camp on the first night - only 3C in the tent, freezing outside, but a beautiful morning).
Meanwhile, back on the smallholding nothing was on hold, and everything needed doing on Monday afternoon - grass, chickens, bees, potting on and planting out.
We decided to inspect the bees; Sarah now has a suit and with the added pressure of one bee finding a hole in mine, we opened the hive up.
They are doing OK - we found the Queen, don't think we have any Queen cells (which suggest they might swarm) and the colony is growing in numbers.
