And a very friendly bunch they are too .... I can vouch for the tea and cake .... well worth a trip to hear Murray as well.

I'd be there for the tea and cake and have Murray as a sideshow... mmmmmmmm

After Murray’s been there do you expect any tea and cake to be left!

That's why I would would be having the Tea and Cake before listening to Murray

Sounds really good - do you mind a couple of interlopers from the south of the county?

Being so remote and isolated Kent contains its own natural varroa tolerant bees, I’m honestly surprised they can stretch to cake

Do come! Really, everyone welcome. It's a 490 mile drive south for Murray so we're hoping for a good turnout.

Suitably chastened.

Not 100% sure yet...but you very likely to get Jolanta too. Unfortunately she is not fond of standing in front of an audience but is not slow to interrupt me from the audience if what I say about the queen and nuc unit does not exactly match what she does..... it can be pretty comical. I am sure a lot of people might have questions to direct to her, especially after the main event.
She read the flyer for the talk which mentions her work and wondered why I had not planned to take her down there too.......had not thought about it tbh.

Cheeky pup! Oddly I very rarely eat cake, and never drink tea or coffee. My 'blubber quotient' is down to other causes..............picks from list of deadly sins...starts with gluttonly and sloth.

From what I've seen of your work Murray, Sloth is not on your list!

Pies and beer?

Pies and beer?

Pies yes...............beer no. Just from personal taste...not any diet fetish...rarely ever drink alcohol. Sadly a lot of the alterative are even more certain to make one rather tubby.

On their own no big deal...but when you add in the chocolate, the chips, the spuds, the steak and onoins, fruit in abundance, curries, Chinese takeways (this one is dangerous due to who I live with)........its a pretty long list of things...

Yes, I have the same problems. I don't drink normally (just occasionally abnormally) but I've made a start in improving my diet by totally avoiding some on the list you mention.
I've made a good start apart from the occasional helping of jam roly poly, I haven't touched any fruit for ages

jam roly poly

Takes me back!

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Takes me back!

nothing like a bit of roly poly

Just for info. Jolanta WILL be there on Wednesday night for anyone who wants to talk to her about queen and nuc matters.
