We were lucky enough to get some expert tuition from leading bee disease expert Megan Seymour at our association apiary today.

No sign of EFB/AFB thankfully.

I warned her about the apple wine!

[Meg]

Thanks for posting the photos Jon. Nice to see how other people view me!

Shame we found nothing 'interesting', but good to see your grafts and to be able to have a bit of a blether.

Not bad apple wine to and a sign of thre evening/early morning to come.

Back to the EFB at home now - ah well - a nice dream until Gormanston.

You are in with bad company here now.

I do so love the 1970s

[gavin]

Me too, but you have to keep an eye on the 2010s too. And, for that matter, the 2020s and the 2030s.

Bad Company - they look like some of my past boyfriends, but then I was only 8 in 1974....

[Neils]

Does this mean I have to be nice now? ;) it was all Jon's fault!

[Jon]

Still only a nipper. That was the year I became a teenager. I was a paid up member of the Slade fan club in 1973

[gavin]

Oh dear - I looked like that in 1974 ..... and have a rather hazy memory of much of it ...... but probably didn't have a great deal of interest in 8 year olds!

What's it like to be so old? I just can't imagine reaching such an age.....

[gavin]

It's great! The kids grow up, become adult even, life moves on, new horizons appear, you become wise, respected, everyone defers to your better judgement, your ability to keep half a dozen metaphorical plates in the air, spinning, becomes legendary, you even get worshipped sometimes .... and your ability to kid yourself also comes on in leaps and bounds!

:D :D I agree.
