Good afternoon again. Oscar here.

Firstly, i’d like to apologise for the spelling and grammar in last weeks post. It was atrocious. Luckily Paul is proof reading ‘Urban Beekeeping’, so you should all be safe from such errors.

This week, we were welcomed back after a long, glorious Bank Holiday weekend to rain – lots of it. Very surprising given the weather today is practically tropical in comparison. Still, much better than Oyston Mill, where it was frozen all year round.

Rachel has spent the past few days ammending the index in the back of ‘Craft Cider Making’, which is being reprinted, and says it was the most mind numbing thing she has ever had to do. At least she’ll be able to make some Cider after going through the entire book. I have been creating internet links and mocking up our monthly newsletter, and Paul has been a busy bee proof reading ‘Urban Beekeeping’.

Ruth has had a tough few weeks, and we all wish her well!

Before i get back to work, i’d like to leave you with this:

May your crops be ripe and your livestock healthy!

Oscar
