Took a visit to discuss the 2nd new out apiary this year - all WBCs and had a good chat to a couple of master thatchers working overtime thatching 2 purpose built garden granaries on old staddle stones.
Fell about crying with laughter as while the gardener and I were chatting about the world, my youngest who'd been trying to get as close to the geese as possible suddenly squawked and took off as fast as his little legs could carry him hotly pursued by one of the Ganders who too umbrage at his personal space being abused.
Funniest thing I've seen in a week or two and the Thatchers almost fell off the roof in hysterics too.
Goose survived as did my youngest's pride to live another day ;-))
As for the apiary - just need to convince the site owner that lining up WBCs may look attractive but not great from a drifting point of view and the ground he'd selected isn't level enough so a bit of work to do there too.
