We finally went back to the bees!! I'd heard lots about Bee Urban, loads of people's favourite task, basically a collection of hives and flowers to keep the bees going and make some tasty honey. ๐
We had a beeeeautiful team, ready to get BUZZY. ๐๐๐๐
Barnaby gave us a couple of jobs:
๐ธ๐บ๐ผPlanting bulbs - finding little spots around the park to plant some bulbs with some concise instructions ๐
๐Sifting compost - shovelling a load of compost onto a big sieve to get rid of all the leaves (and twigs and sunglasses?!) and then wheelbarrowing that into a big sack - we filled 3!
After an hour we were done and hit the road (back in time for the Bake Off ๐ง)
Nice to have some visitors from nearby - shout out to Miranda and Holly off of Hammersmith & Fulham and Emma from Southwark!
Also nice one Will - he SMASHED the London Marathon just two days ago ๐๐๐ And is booked in for another one in just a month!
