The bees are very busy today at the cabin and many of them. Not sure why this particular pot is attracting them more than any other the plant has died??
The bees belong to a local honey farm who have their hives behind the shop. Apparently they are collecting moisture in the pots to take back to their hives. They are so fascinating to watch and are not bothered by anyone unless provoked as they just want to get on with their job!

What happened to the traditional Easter eggs in mugs I hear you say? Well hear they are. Yes there are some controversial chocolate eggs there but there is no packaging just a foil wrapper and a wonderful vintage mug for your child or adult to enjoy. Limited supply so get yours fast before they’re all gone. Mugs are all unique
Available from Petal n Paint Creations in Ford. Why not see other gifts from 50p to make up your own Easter bucket or bag. We also have hand made Easter cards. Well worth a visit!! We are open every day from Wednesday 25th March 10-5 🐣🐇
