Goodbye Dear Friend
Brave Vulcan sat to attention for the ceremony; proud to 'sit up' with his brother one last time. He has struggled to come to terms with the loss of Zeus, but has now stepped up taking on the mantle of 'Pack Alpha'.
Rest in peace dear friend ---- you are forever in our hearts -----run free & we will watch for you in the wind!

Bee Patrol.
This week's high winds present a real threat to our bee hives; it is imperative that we check that they are intact & immune to predators. Our biggest threat comes in the form of mice & woodpeckers. On the cold winter's night, a tempting dinner of pure, organic honey is an irresistible option. It is a difficult time for bee-keepers; the benign climate is enticing the bees to investigate outside the hive with the expectation of an early Spring. At this time of year the Hive should be hibernating; conserving their energy & honey reserves for the real Spring. However, in reality they are curious, out & about investigating their environment. This is not ideal for the Colony as the Queen will laying, sadly the larvae will use up the colony's precious honey reserves!!! There will be precious little in return.

Spirit of The Wind
Eight days of high winds have characterised the start to 2012. The sheer power of this natural element is startling, the landscape has been re sculpted with many skeleton trees having their dead wood stripped away; nature's version of copsing. This picture of Isis in full flight with the wind & the waves encapsulates the sentiment.
