Bumbling along ......

The Bee And The Lily .

" Buzz went the bee with a merry Din.

" Who's there" ? cried the lily, her cup within.

" You're gossip, the bee with a tale so funny,

to hum in your ear while you brew your honey ;

But you must not repeat it for love or money !

Buzz went the rogue , with a merry din,

as the lily opened and let him in .

" Why lily I vow its a palace quite,

This kitchen of yours so warm and white ,

And such fine honey! Now might I venture

To sniff for a moment, to ..... taste, to sip 

A morsel merely to moisten my lip,

without incurring thereby your censure?"

" Oh said the lily pray eat your fill."

So the bee set to work with a right good will:

He fluttered and buzzed , he tried and tasted,

Nothing was missed and nothing wasted;

He ate and he ate ~ it was really funny

To see him swallow such heaps of honey .....

Welcome !

Quirky pieces for that ' individual home ' !

Dear Readers,

It feels an age since we've had time 

to post ...

Busy 'little bees' we have jolly well been !

We would like to start with this beautiful

little poem , which is so fitting , as its 

cold, frosty and jolly chilly today ..

Brrrr !

Jack Frost

" Look out look out!

Jack Frost is about!

He's after our fingers and toes;

And all through the night.

The gay little sprite

Is working when nobody knows.

He'll climb each tree,

So nimble is he,

His silvery powder he'll shake:

To windows he'll creep

And while we're asleep,

Such wonderful pictures he'll make.

Across the grass

He'll nimbly pass,

And change all its greenness to white:

Then home he will go,

And laugh ho "Ho ho ho!

What fun I have had through the night !"

Love is in the air just now too !

The shops full to the brim 

with wonderful valentines gifts / ideas 

for those you love..

Come take a peak .....

Although we are in the thick of winter time still.
There are signs of spring time every where just now too !
New life here and there..

Beautiful , snow drops, crocus
 and even Daffodils are 
starting to show their pretty faces..
Yep it will be spring time before you know it.

The bees have been away buying this last week, so watch out 
for the most beautiful new stock arriving each 
week .
We are also very excited to be going out on line in the near future 
with a website and local delivery service!!!... 
We promise we wont be away to long next time..
Happy February one and all..
Keep cosy and warm .
Hugs and kisses.
