:kiss:

Hope you are enjoying your first weekend of October.

Hey, Azul! :kiss: And thank you. :)

I had a lovely weekend, thank you, did you? I do love autumn, the colder weather, lighting the fire of an evening, the beautiful colours in the trees...
 
Well, here's hoping you make it home safe and sound, Lady Numi and Lord Hornblende. :)

Made it eventually, thanks, DS, what a palaver, honestly... I think the entire train network seized up there for a couple of hours :mad: Apparently I get all the cost of my ticket back, but still, I'd rather have had the time at home. H had proposed extensive fornication, but we were both too tired :eek:

Made up for it this morning, mind... :devil:

well, as long as you made up for it in the end ;)
 
Hope you have recovered from your delays :rose:

Sort of. Thanks for asking... :kiss: Should have been four hours tops, was over eight. At one point they said they'd have to take us right back to our point of origin to start again by another route. :eek:

Coupled with a hard time at work yesterday and today, it seems to have knocked me off my axis a little bit - been a bit drained and listless the last couple of days.

I need a weekend to recover from my weekend!

Aw, thank you :kiss:

I'm much restored now, after getting all my work stuff sorted and good night's sleep last night.

Also excited about some holiday planning for next year. I realised that I am evaluating all potential French villas against these criteria:

1) Are there restraint points in the bedroom?

2) If there's a balcony, is it overlooked? Because I want to do
this
again.

3) How private is the pool area? Because I really want to do this again too.

Is that really bad? :devil: :D

I'm leaving the other boring stuff about number of bedrooms, is there a dishwasher, where's the nearest bakery to ... others in the party... :rolleyes:
 
Oh yes. Very yes. I'd like to see the back view too. I'm expecting that an apron should be worn like a kilt, of course... :cool:

One of my favourite things about that image is that there are three glasses on the tray.

Three. :devil:

I've heard of a two-fisted drinker, but never three.....oh, I see what you did there ;)
 
Randomly, Numi ...

Delighted to share with you my joy about this season's honey quality. Harvested in early September, it has, surprisingly, already crystalized. Always a worrying time for beekeepers who refrain from heat-treating their honey which inevitably diminishes flavour as you will know from all the big commercial honeys one buys. 'Raw' honey will often crystalize either gritty or far too solid. All depending upon the mix of nectars it's made from. But this! So soft and spreadable, with just enough 'hold' in it to stay on the toast even when you tip it. And while it has lost its translucent rich gold as is inevitable when it crystalizes, it remains warm gold with no hint of whitening or, worse, 'greying' as some solid honeys go.

As to flavour. I am of course biased. But when women I don't know very well taste it and make noises not dissimilar to orgasmic bliss, that seems to tell me something.

In truth, that guy's far too young. I prefer some maturity, a sense of experience, a life lived.

A sense that he knows exactly why he has three glasses on his tray, and has the confidence to bring them :devil:

*fans self*

This is lovely, Simon. I was wondering how your bees had done this year. Did the volume of honey meet your expectations? Does it always crystallise? My local beekeeping friend gives us a jar of his sometimes, but I don't recall it ever being or becoming crystallised. I don't think he treats it, I'll have to ask him.

Honey is my absolute favourite thing to put on toast. Or indeed a croissant, although I'm not sure the French would approve.

I don't think it makes me emit orgasmic noises, though. Perhaps that's just because I've never tasted yours... ;)

(Note to self: nearly managed the whole post without a double entendre... :D)

The crystalization factors are the range of nectars, the presence or not of a residue of pollen in the honey [on which crystals will like to begin forming] and the temperature of where it is kept. We have friends with an always-warm kitchen in which my honey stays runny until it's finished, at least that's what happened last year. But last year ours stayed runny until late January, this year for much less time, and yet as I say it's a deliciously soft and completely un-gritty crystal.

This season has not been grand in terms of quantity of surplus honey, but one reason for that is that I have allowed swarming in order to increase the number of colonies. At the end of last winter I had three strong colonies and two which had really struggled to survive the winter, from one of which I had to remove and kill the queen as she was no longer laying. I begin this winter with eight colonies, four of them with new queens which have made a promising first part-season in terms of their laying. If I manage to get things perfect for them through the winter in terms of ventilation and temperature and removal of varroa destructor mites, I'll be well set for a much bigger harvest of honey next year.
