The Tour de France in Cambridge

 

It was a great day for the tour to start stage 3 in Cambridge. The spectators turned out in thousands to enjoy the spectacle and cheer on the riders.

Only 10 days to go until the Tour de France comes to Cambridge. Thanks to Cambunting www.Bit.ly/CamBuntingTdF  and Rad Wagon for the knitted jersey bunting. We love it!

Our swarmy bees

Our bees decided to swarm yesterday and proceeded to land in the garden of our (very understanding and tolerant) new neighbours’.

They landed high up in an elderflower.  Nick held the ladder while I climbed up with my cardboard box and shook them into it. We got most of them into the box and took them home then shook them onto a sheet in front of the hive and watched them march in. They are still there today so hopefully we have the queen.

The first day of spring

Spring has arrived in Cambridge with some fine weather. Our magnolia is in full bloom, our bees are busy gathering pollen and our hedgehogs have emerged from their hibernation.
