Daughters and bees

Why do I not take advice, just read my daughters blog, which she advised against, and thought how proud I am of her! The capacity for drinking and eating at such a young age must be from her father!!!! You see this is the down side of the internet etc. in the days before parents did not know what their children were up to and could imagine they were having fun but in a sensible and tasteful way, but now it it there for all to see and worry about!
No wonder children think their parents lives are boring there is no record of what they got up to when they were that age - thank god. (boring - been there done that)
Anyway back to life in the countryside, much more suitable. Alpacas are growing, outwards mainly and I have still not found a shearer yet, really want to get them sheared before the babies arrive it will be so much easier to see what is going on etc. Will be on the phone again today chasing people.
The fields are starting to look very full, but unfortunately a couple of them are full of thistles - not sure what to do about them, everything I read says dig them out, but there are hundreds of them, perhaps we should get a goat? may well have to try eventually. The top field which is very uneven with loads of nettles may be the ideal spot for the wild flowers as we have been told it looks as though it has not been improved so will check when get visit from neccessary experts.
Yesterday morning a cloud desended outside the patio windows, very localised weather and dogs all came in rather quickly. On taking a second look I realised the air above the patio area was full of bees, absolutel hundreds of them. Rushed around to close all windows and doors so they did not choose the house to nest in, and made sure all dogs were inside. After a few minutes they were gone - hopefully moved on and not nesting somewhere too close, to be discovered later!
