Very proud of the other half this week...

It's not often I write as me but this week is an exception as I just wanted to share how proud I am of my better half's achievement...

Amanda has a feature reflecting on our first year of beekeeping in France in the latest edition of BeeCraft, the very popular beekeeping magazine.  Reflecting back on that year now, it amazes me just how much we've worked through (whilst renovating our home) and just how much Amanda's passion for beekeeping and our bees is infectious.  Not a week goes by where her energy doesn't inspire me all over again!

The article can be found here if you're interested to see what it's been like :-) (PS - copyright BeeCraft Magazine of course)

Well done Mrs B. and thanks for being that constant, positive energy in our French adventure. X
