I miss going to Farmers Markets where I used to buy a lot of my food, and honey, and beeswax @Krystyna23040
And other goodies :(

The bee keeper is a mile from our house and Mr K gets the honey from them because it does help his allergies.
The farm makes their own ice cream (Dann's ice cream) and provides milk which although not organic is guaranteed to be free of antibiotics which is important for my kefir. It feels a lot safer than queuing for ages outside Tesco to then find they have not got organic milk. The farm also does lovely free range eggs and various vegetables and it is rather nice to see the cows and the sheep in the fields around the farm.

It is our one trip away from our village each week and saves trawling around local supermarkets for suitable milk.
It was a lovely (if short) drive through the countryside with our favourite tracks playing in the car. The fridge is now stocked up with bottles of milk for the week.

@gennepher another cloudy success can almost feel that wind pulling that cloud apart. We have a very cold east wind here although sun is seducing us outdoors.

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist

It is awfully windy here.
I am out on my swing but it is alternately too cold and then burning hot on my jeans when the sun comes out. We have wind gusts of 18 knots, also coming from the east.

His Lordship and I will retire to the potting shed soon...although he is happily fast asleep cuddling up to Big Ted...

It would be lovely if there were something like that near here.
It makes a nice break out of the house as well @Krystyna23040

Agree was given but accept a friendly also.

More news and how ridiculous is this... ALL residents have been tested and will continue to be in MILs case (93 years) BUT no staff have been tested and many are having to seek private testing as they will not be tested as part of the care home tests. What can one say? :banghead: They won't but you couldn't blame them if they refused to work then what a mess.

Yes, we are lucky. We are thinking that we won't go back to supermarket milk after the lockdown. This milk comes from local cows and the farm provides reusable screw top glass 1 litre bottles so it cuts down our use of plastic.

Hancock needs to be on trial.

Absolutely criminal the inadequacies Shown during this entire debacle.

Wouldn't need to be a tame scientist to think most of the crunch points through.

And that is a glaring example.

It's PEOPLE that Spread it, not sectors or protions of society....people.

Care home setting ALL need to be tested.
Staff and residents...:banghead:

It's almost willful neglect on an industrial scale.

Levels of incompetence rarely seen outside of a nursery playground.

No thinking
No preparation
No planning

Nothing but reacting to what others have done or are doing... And all of it
Too little
Too late.

Ashamed of them all.
How dare they ciap while allowing so many to go unprotected and unaided

Edit.
Just more bumbling by the scientific experts
Explaining why so many dead was preferable to preparing properly.
When is the penny going to drop...

That all this to protect the govt line, for ministers who are going to be pointing big pointy finger's at the very same scientist, shouting. "THEY did it" as ministers walk away unscathed from the public enquiry...:banghead::rolleyes:

That has happened to me when I mentioned blue T*** in another post. Perhaps, with hindsight the birds could have been given a more acceptable name.

But then I have had problems in the past with a certain butterfly that begins its name with Pea....
@Krystyna23040

I am not about to try it now in case there are still problems...
 
My fbg this mornin was a gert 5.2 not bad at all especially as last night I could not resist sampling the Irish Soda Bread I made yesterday a small but non the less significant sample as it contained honey substituted for molasses which I did not have and currents and caraway seeds made with natural butter milk.

Never mind the gertitude of fbg John, the bread sounds a thing of wonder. A scholar. gentleman and breadologist.
