Can you spot the young beekeeper? Having looked on the Internet to find that beekeeper suits for youngsters cost £40 + we improvised. Not practical but for observing the bees coming and going it was perfect. While we sat watching the bees do their stuff we saw one of them throwing out a coddling moth grub - at least I think it was. No sooner had it been thrown out than a wasp desended upon it and seemed to make a meal of it.
My copy of the Permaculture magazine arrived today and it makes great reading. We have been looking at masonry stoves as an ecological option to heat our home but the costs have placed them out of our reach so to see a home build example in the magazine was perfect timing. If your're interested then look at http://www.envisioneer.net/ is the website of the reader who sent it in.
It was also great to read about the progress of Totnes as a Transition Town and all the positive things that are happening there particularly the beginnings of their own local currency. Wouldn't it be great if each town had its own currency! More local buying - more local enterprise - more people looking at living sustainably? To know more take a look at
