Hard to beleive we had such a cold, long winter

Summer months in the middle of the Suffolk countryside are glorious. The B&B has been keeping me and David busy (cowshedholidays.co.uk) as our visitors are making the most of the warm weather to visit Walberswick, Southwold and Dunwich. The summer is not the best time to visit the RSPB at Minsmere to see interesting birds, but the walks round the reserve and along the heather strewn cliffs towards Dunwich is just lovely.

I've just got back from St Peters Church in Wenhaston where I and 40 others have exhibited in a show 'Inspired by Becker'. Harry Becker lived down the road for many years and this year is the centenary of his death. 

David has been getting honey off the beehives all week; selling here and in several local shops. The 16 hives he has up here on the farm are doing really well and have made a good recovery after the long wet  and cold winter which they didnt like.
