Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

All of my lavender is in full bloom and covered in lovely bees, they are all just so sweet, busy about their work.

I love watching bees work.

I should upload one of the videos I took the other day, I have a patch of mint about a meter square and anywhere from half to a meter tall. Tuesday morning is was covered in so many kinds of bees it was amazing!

I've, lost her MJ. Not surprised but it was really fast. When I was reading up I read that egg peritonitis often happens when hens come back on the lay after their moult. Morrigu was the last hen I would have expected to have trouble & I'm not sure if that's true but so not the sort of stuff I'm really cluey about.

Oh I am so sorry, @Ribh! It is so hard to lose our chicken friends!

That's so pretty, it seems some of the prettiest pictures happen during cold weather.

Thank you everyone. @BY Bob has given me quite a bit of peace; handy having a microbiologist about the place! There was nothing that could have been done even if the vet was on island that day. Just one of those awful things. Life is like that sometimes.

At my age, I don't think it's a good idea. But I wish I hadn't been afraid back then.

Oh I'm in the same boat ! I wouldn't last 5 minutes these days But I have some very fond memories of many many hours on horseback.

All this horse talk makes me so sad

Please do. Our native bees are doing really well, even in the cold.
