We make solar-powered gates, barriers and more besides.
We also employ ex-cons and addicts in recovery.

Oh, we also keep bees.
No, really.
The best thing about being a Yeoman, is the perogative to have a little fun!

Saw a sign in a shop window earlier: "SOULSEEKERS REQUIRED. Apply within."

Ah, the joy of learning to draw with a ruler for the first time.

You thought I was joking.
Here are just some of the bee hot water bottles needed to keep each individual bee warm during winter.

Our bees are safely tucked up in their hives for winter.

So glad that job is finished, especially the knit-3,000-tiny-hot-water-bottle-covers part.

Stopped at a Scottish service station near Dundee. It sold everything, clothes, cutlery, puncture repair kits. It was like the shop in Open All Hours.
Oddest thing of all: Boxes of Corn Flakes in the fridge.

I'm in a Starbucks somewhere in Yorkshire. Fellow sales people fill all four corners of the cafe. I know they are sales because they keep checking their watches and are playing RPG games on their laptops.

Today is Fallow Friday #ff.
You'll find me, in a neglected field, tearfully digging.

Earlier, I saw a man on the street that I wrongly identified as the uniform-clad AC/DC guitarist Angus Young.
Schoolboy error.

It's cold.
I need some gloves like I've never needed gloves before.

Today in London I saw: Elton John singing on a mobile piano, a living Queen Victoria statue, two people dressed as mirror balls and two grannies riding shopping bags while listening to hop-hop.
In short, I need a lie down.

I'm at London Build, a formiddably big trade show for the construction industry. Not sure this proposed replacement for Tower Bridge is big enough...

Ever-hungry Dave Gammon strips down a solar-powered, SOSEC barrier after hearing that someone may have dropped a cocktail sausage into the mechanism.

Fun Fact: The period of British history before white sauce was introduced here, is known as Prebechamelisation.

I don't mean to show off my meteorological training and/or raining expertise... but it looks like it's absolutely "shiting it down" outside.
