THEY MOVE QUICK DON'T THEY KATE. SAME FOR BUTTERFLIES TOO. JUST KEEP CLICKING AND YOU'LL GET A GOOD SHOT. HAVE YOU GOT A CAMERA WITH A GOOD ZOOM TO IT, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET SO CLOSE. I DON'T MIND BEES AS I USED TO KEEP HONEYBEES.

To be honest Linda, I was using my phone. I should get my camera out, and use it. It’s a Nikon one so I should get a good shot.
How fab that you had honeybees, I can imagine that was a really interesting hobby to have. The sound of the bees is would have been wonderful, and the honey, wow!

I STARTED WITH ONE HIVE AND ENDED UP WITH TWO. A VERY INTERESTING HOBBY AND I MADE WAX CANDLES FOR MY FAMILY TOO. I HAD A SMALLHOLDING WITH A COUPLE OF GOATS AND SOME CHICKENS. I USED TO MAKE MY OWN YOUGHURT, ICE CREAM AND CHEESE.

All I can say is wow! Handmade candles from beeswax- now that is some skill. That is definitely something to aspire too. I knew a patient who had a goat farm and he made his own dairy products to sell. I loved to see the little kids when they were born, so very cute. Bit stinky, but adorable!
You’ve undertaken and enjoyed several hobbies and interesting things Linda!

I USED TO BE THERE AND ASSIST AT KIDDING TIME, CHECKING THAT ALL WAS WELL AND THAT THE KIDS WERE FEEDING O.K. THEY WERE GREAT FUN TO BE WITH AND USED TO LEAP ABOUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. MY GOATS HAD A FIELD TO GO IN DURING THE DAY AND A STABLE AT NIGHT. I ALWAYS KEPT THEM NICE AND CLEAN. KATE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFETIME, SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT AND TRY OUT DIFFERENT THINGS. I PAINT AND HAVE ALWAYS LIKED DRAWING, I WRITE POETRY AND CHILDREN'S STORIES, AND NEVER THOUGHT I'D WRITE BUT I HAD A GO. THE LITTLE BOOKLETS WE PRODUCE AT HOME HAVE GONE INTO THE DOCTORS AND DENTISTS SURGERIES AND LAST CHRISTMAS SOME WENT INTO THE LOCAL SHOPS FOR THE CHILDREN TO TAKE AWAY FREE. I'VE ALSO GONE UP IN A HOT AIR BALLOON. I SAY HAVE A GO WHEN THE CHANCE IS THERE.

Lovely close up, Linda. I was trying to capture a bee or several today, but, I just couldn’t time it right..they were too busy and buzzing about to quickly for me!
