I have had help recently from Paul and Raphael via wwoof and helpx. The loo structure is finished thanks to Pauls carpentry skills. The garden is finally coming to fruition we have strawberries,beans, potatoes,onions, garlic, salads and herbs, We had a long rainy evening racking off ,sampling and bottling the homemade wine and mead. Last years summer wine (strawberries, redcurrants and rasberries) is a great success. Raphael had spent time on vineyards in France and had a great vocabulary to describe the wines. I have started this years wine off with the elderflowers.
We managed to extract some honey and this is now in jars and for sale at the local butchers.
The bees are still struggling, too many wet days spent indoors one colony potentially has a drone layer I won't know for sure till I revisit on the next sunny day.
Chris is making progress rebuilding this years baler and haymaking is on the horizon.
