Another shining, powder-blue day! We have been sitting outside nearly all afternoon, at our favourite North Berwick cafe, Steampunk. Fantastic range of dogs there today, and we were mightily glad that we had left Tilly and Ted at home because it would not have been nearly as relaxing if they had come too! Far too much excitement with so many dogs, especially for Ted!
The dogs have not been neglected though! We had a walk before we went out. Early this morning there was a heavy frost on the ground, but the warmth of the sun had dealt with that by mid-morning. The bark of the silver birch trees shone in the sunshine, and the bees were buzzing around the catkins on a big willow tree.
And a golden end to a beautiful day!

I am two weeks into a beekeeping course so it was great to see the worker bees in action, collecting pollen from the willow catkins, which will get things going well in the hives as Spring approaches.
