All our seasons seemingly mould into one recently. Lukewarm summers, followed by lukewarm winters, and lukewarm bits in between.
We have a vanilla climate here. We've still got a flowering rose bush here at naughty towers. Bizarre. |

Not bee related but something that blew my mind again 2 months ago. My grandfather has an allotment and in the allotment he has a compost heap which is lined underneath and the sides, you can only access it from whipping the bit of carpet off the top and sticking your spade in. Right so here's the bit that blows my mind every year, get ready for your mins to be blown...
Right when I was 6 I had two slow worms called silky and Mr brown, I kept them in an old goldfish aquarium for 12 years, when I moved in with my boyfriend at 18 I couldn't take them with me, didn't want him thinking I was a weirdo, so my grandad said to bring them up the allotment and they can go in the compost. Those two slow worms are still there, they're grey now and silvery and move slower but they actually know me, they poke their tongues out to my hand and slither I to the palm of my hand and let me fuss them. They're 27 years old at least! |

That's a lovely story that I can relate to, I was always finding lizards, newts, slow worms, snakes and so on. I never kept them or anything, just had a look and let them go....
I used to find mushrooms too but that's a totally different story!  |

So if we want to live a long time live in compost 
I had one when young too but let it go after a couple of years
