Bee Hotel Finished 🐝

It's been a while since I last posted, but I have still been running at least every other day and clicking up the miles πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ And when I've not been running, I've been as busy as a bee, down in the cellar 😊 A couple of weeks ago I made a Picnic Table for the Sqirrels 🐿️ and I'm delighted to say that they are loving it! πŸ˜‚ My new obsession is watching squirrels eating nuts πŸ₯œπŸ€£

But today I finished my Bee Hotel 🐝🍯❀️ All I have to do now is watch πŸ™„

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xxx

How wonderful AliHC, I have flowering shrubs in my garden and there’s a constant buzz going on at the moment. 🌻🐝🌸🐝🌼🐝

Thank you Dexy5 ❀️ There are a lot of bees in my garden at the moment as the jasmine has just started to flower 🌸 The weather has been perfect for sitting out and watching nature.

I'm sending you over a list of my outstanding D.IY jobs that need completing πŸ€“.

And the name a good therapist to help with that squirrel fascination πŸ‘€.

Glad you're allowed out of the cellar to run πŸ‘πŸ™‚

😊 I'm on with the next project already! But this is a joint effort with my husband πŸ˜‰ We're making an archway/canopy down the side of the house! This involves making the top bits out of 4 old beer barrel stillage stands! 😳🍻

I'm determined to get a half marathon distance run before the month is out too πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I think I'll need a therapist when I'm told I have to go back to work! 😳

Hope you're well xx

All's well in our little corner of Welsh Wales thanks Ali. Teenagers attending dining room school, youngest has her drum tutoring over the world wide web πŸ€“, it's a new routine but it's kinda working.

Mrs Wife doing her NHS and loving providing care etc.

And the baby blue-tits in the garden are possibly getting noisier day by day πŸ™‰.

Running is a life saver away from everyday lockdown life, long may we run πŸ‘πŸ™‚

Your new brewery bits project sounds fantastic..

Good to hear Hidden ❀️

Your wife is incredible ❀️ I am in complete awe of all our NHS workers πŸ‘and all of our key workers πŸ‘‹

It must be pretty hard for the teenagers not being able to meet up with their friends. I know my son (21) is finding it a bit miserable. Home from uni and missing his uni friends and also not able to see his Sheffield friends either. But they do video chat regularly and do their weekly pub quiz together online 😊

I'm glad that most music teachers can continue their lessons online too! My husband is drummer, btw πŸ₯

I think our new building may take some time so will have to post our progress in stages πŸ˜‚

I'm so happy that I'm still able to get out for runs! I've got a family funeral tomorrow so no running, but I'm certain I'll be ready to do my half marathon on Tuesday πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Have a good week ❀️

I sometimes forget that we have /had a business to run before the lockdown 😳 Running, the garden and being creative are the things that are keeping me sane πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŒΈπŸŽ¨

I remember your last post and it's great to see another project finished. Now you just need the bees to do their part🐝

πŸ‘πŸΌπŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸΌ I knew the squirrels would like that table. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘ Are they red squirrels? And I’m sure the bees will like their hotel. Good luck with the house project.

AliHCGraduate10β€’ in reply toGranspeed

We've got grey squirrels. Never seen a red one in the garden before, but there are some in the botanical gardens about 2 miles away.

I'll have to post the house project in stages I think!

Hope you're well Granspeed ❀️

We are hanging in there, thank you AliHC. Missing the running but the garden is liking the attention. And I’m on to my second Lockdown Patchwork quilt! 😊 And Mr GS is feeling better, which is a big plus. Hope you are still playing while the drummer drums. 🎢🎡🎢

Very interesting and brilliant! πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

Thank you Hidden 😊🐝

Any more projects in the pipeline?

😊

AliHC profile image
AliHCGraduate10β€’ in reply to

Yes! 😊 A joint project with my husband. We're making an archway for down the side of the house from old wooden beer stillages πŸ˜‚ Beer stillage are what large beer barrels rest one when they're laid down. We thought we had 4, but can only find 3...so we may have to make one! 🀣This project may take some time! So I might make a little bird house or do some stained glass work or a mosaic to fill in the gaps?

Your profile name suggests that you may be quite handy with the tools Hidden 😊 x

β€’ in reply toAliHC

That's sounds interesting, let us see it if you do it please.

I was doing a lot of DIY when I joined that's why I chose the name. In saying that I do like a project, I made a raised flower bed out of an old fence recently which was fun.

Weather is changing now though so it will be harder to do things now.

😊

I'll definitely be posting updates πŸ˜‚

Your flower bed sounds good! I like making things out of old stuff 😊

β€’ in reply toAliHC

Same here, I have more fence so I'll make other things.

Im looking forward to seeing your things. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘
