Bee Hotel Finished 🐝

[AliHC]

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 🏃🏼‍♀️ 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! 😂 My new obsession is watching squirrels eating nuts 🥜🤣

But today I finished my Bee Hotel 🐝🍯❤️ All I have to do now is watch 🙄

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. 🌻🐝🌸🐝🌼🐝

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

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 🤓.

And the name a good therapist to help with that squirrel fascination 👀.

Glad you're allowed out of the cellar to run 👍🙂

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

😊 I'm on with the next project already! But this is a joint effort with my husband 😉 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 🏃🏼‍♀️

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 🤓, 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 🙉.

Running is a life saver away from everyday lockdown life, long may we run 👍🙂

Your new brewery bits project sounds fantastic..

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Good to hear Hidden ❤️

Your wife is incredible ❤️ I am in complete awe of all our NHS workers 👏and all of our key workers 👋

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 🥁

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

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 🏃🏼‍♀️

Have a good week ❤️

U 2 AliHC condolences 🙏..... Make sure you nail that HM pb 👍👍

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I'll try! 😂

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

How lovely, bees and squirrels in the garden, a grand excuse to take a break. Happy running 🤗

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

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 🏃🏼‍♀️🌸🎨

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

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

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I'm on with the next project now with my husband! It may be some time before I finish this one! 😂

[Granspeed Graduate10]

👏🏼🎉👏🏼 I knew the squirrels would like that table. 😊👍 Are they red squirrels? And I’m sure the bees will like their hotel. Good luck with the house project.

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

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 ❤️

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to AliHC]

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. 🎶🎵🎶

[Hidden]

Very interesting and brilliant! 👍😊

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Hidden 😊🐝

[Hidden in reply to AliHC]

Any more projects in the pipeline?

😊

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes! 😊 A joint project with my husband. We're making an archway for down the side of the house from old wooden beer stillages 😂 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

[Hidden in reply to AliHC]

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.

😊

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I'll definitely be posting updates 😂

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

[Hidden in reply to AliHC]

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

Im looking forward to seeing your things. 😊👍

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

OOh that's super! There's one of those near me, I had no idea such a thing existed until then, well done x

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thank you Curlygurly2 😊
