Hello All!

I hope you have had a good week and have enjoyed the bedtime story I posted on Friday?

This weekend I have been working in my garden because it was nice and sunny. I am growing flowers that bees like! This is because I am going to get a beehive next year, but I have to grow the flowers first so they have something to eat. 

I have planted Borage (which is a lovely word!) and Knapweed
