Because I need to be reminded of how this book, Wild Folk, (which is still fighting to survive) was worth making.
Turn down the lights, turn up the volume for a sublime moment. The words of Jackie Morris read by Jerome Flynn put together with music by Dougal Abbott. This is balm for the soul. (Stained glass by me!)

I finally got around to mowing our overgrown lawn and discovered bees in it. I stopped mowing immediately obviously, but I’m not sure what to do with them. Are they mining bees? Should I get a specialist to move them? Any advice welcomed as I haven’t a clue and want the best for them.
