Ditto no sloes and no apples. The annual apple pressing in the village was cancelled because no one had any to press. Field at the back of work was heaving with sloes last year but this year I can only find about 5! They did flower because we had the usual stunning display earlier in the year...

I know I shouldn't but that did make me laugh ;-)

Question in relation to this thread.....a friend has a poly hive from P****S and she said she is having trouble with condensation under the clear plastic crown board they supplied with the hive. Not knowing the hive I suggested some matchsticks - sorry if have offended someone by saying that -...
