Over the last week, we had Midsummer’s Day and also the third birthday of two of our very special visitors, twin sisters Holly and Ella, who have spent their holidays here at Humble Bee since they were just five months old. Here we have them in the children’s corner in our onsite shop, complete with headdresses and pink dresses! Happy birthday to you both.
We have also had the pleasure of the Bullerwell family’s company last week: their two young boys have thoroughly enjoyed their time with us, particularly sitting round the campfire enjoying the summer evenings. Regular visits to the shop has also been part of the routine. You can see them in our picture keeping warm near their camping pitch.
Our lovely Jack Russell pup, Molly, who has teeth as sharp as razors, has really been taken care of by Spot, one of our other adult Jack Russells. Molly’s arrival has given Spot a new lease of life, bringing out the maternal instinct in our loyal dog. Charlie, our third Jack Russell, has taken some adjusting with the new member of the Humble Bee Family.
We are getting very busy during both July and August, while we have been fortunate with some repeat bookings for 2011 at our St Kitts Holiday Apartment , overlooking Filey Bay.
Sadly, England are now out of the World Cup, but in support of the lads we did decorate our wheelbarrows with England flags.
The wildlife at Humble Bee Farm, though, has been oblivious to the World Cup hype: always in abundance, another of our regular visitors, Callista, has come up with a list of birds that can be spotted while on one of the many walks around the farm. Watch out for pewits, skylarks, oyster catchers, curlews, partridge, chaffinches, gold finches and pheasant.
As the solstice has now passed, we now wait for the fields to gradually turn golden yellow as the crops ripen, and before we know it, harvest time will be upon us. The glorious weather we’ve been having has certainly helped!
More from Humble Bee Farm next week.
