I just cannot believe the extent we go to for mass food production, then I watched the Biggest Littlest Farm in the World and there are people in the world who know what to do. Just that it will not make profit without food being more expensive. Governments just pass this down the line until there will be no line left. On the up side there were bundles of bees on the Mull of Kintyre. I think it is because it is mainly untouched. Reply |

Author: NMCmassive Date: Thu 8th Aug 2024. 20:13 Well Brucefield is full of tits… make of that what you will Seriously though we used to get a flock of small birds ( I think they were house sparrows but I’m definitely no expert so I could be wrong) that would hover over the back of everyone’s adjoining back gardens but I’ve not seen them this year. We definitely still get the bees tho. I can tell because I sit smoking my vape at my front door and the bees must use it as a way point cos pretty regularly they fly up to my door, look at it then move off in the same direction.
