We finally went back to the bees!! I'd heard lots about Bee Urban, loads of people's favourite task, basically a collection of hives and flowers to keep the bees going and make some tasty honey. ๐Ÿ˜‹

We had a beeeeautiful team, ready to get BUZZY. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

Barnaby gave us a couple of jobs:

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผPlanting bulbs - finding little spots around the park to plant some bulbs with some concise instructions ๐Ÿ‘Œ

๐Ÿ‚Sifting compost - shovelling a load of compost onto a big sieve to get rid of all the leaves (and twigs and sunglasses?!) and then wheelbarrowing that into a big sack - we filled 3!

After an hour we were done and hit the road (back in time for the Bake Off ๐Ÿง)

Nice to have some visitors from nearby - shout out to Miranda and Holly off of Hammersmith & Fulham and Emma from Southwark!

Also nice one Will - he SMASHED the London Marathon just two days ago ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ And is booked in for another one in just a month!
