![]() Here in the UK we are just about prepared to admit that Spring might be here or will be along shortly, and beekeepers across the land are waking from their slumber, flexing the old hive tool muscles, and preparing to have a peek at their bees. Come to think of it, this whole piece so far is one big digression, because I haven’t mentioned bees yet. How dare they? I’ve often wondered why cyclists evolved from ordinary people peddling down the road to these lycra clad, multicoloured, shaven legged superheroes that shout at car drivers and pedestrians in equal measure…but I digress. There are cycles to life and to everything, just as there are cycles charging around the streets of Amsterdam at this very moment, ridden by people in a hurry to mow down the unwary tourist who dares to step out from the pedestrian area into the cycle lane. We walruses do not visit churches or mosques or synagogues, for obvious reasons our place of worship is out on the high seas, where Nature herself rules unchallenged, sometimes gentle and still, other times raging and brutal. ![]() Sometimes life throws stuff at you and you just have to go with it, accept that the universe does not bend to your will, and keep the faith that better times are ahead. I have slapped both flippers in admonishment and remade my vow to keep this ship sailing, keep this show on the road, keep the flag flying…you get the picture. I have set out the steps that I must take to produce a book of wonder that will grab the beekeeping world by storm, and the first of these steps is regular blogging. It has also slowed down my blog posting which just won’t do I need the discipline of regular posts to keep the old writing muscles in shape. We like to muse, and ponder, and pontificate the occasional stretch is delicious, but all this frantic activity has unbalanced me. Gosh, I’ve been running around like a blue-arsed fly, a headless chicken, a striped ass ape……which is not how your average walrus likes to be. ![]()
