Transition Town Wivenhoe : Repair Cafe
http://transitionwivenhoe.blogspot.com/p/repair-cafe.html
Finding ways to live a more connected, healthier and sustainable way of life. Wivenhoe is a town of around 10,000 people on the River Colne in Essex, UK. Why a Repair Café? So we can reduce this! We throw away vast amounts of stuff. Even things with almost nothing wrong, and which could get a new lease on life after a simple repair. Our Wivenhoe Repair Café is attempting to change all that!

A Little Island: Honey Harvest
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2011/05/honey-harvest.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Sunday, May 22, 2011. There is nothing better than enjoying honey made by your own bees! We started our honey harvest yesterday! Dad has already harvested 9 frames from another hive, but yesterday we went up to harvest from the Four Winds bees, which are the ones that you can see living in a barn wall on the video blog (changing this soon, for the moment you can see it here. This is quite an early harvest, because the bees have been c...

Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Saturday, July 2, 2011. The last post was apicture of us taking a wild colony from a barn wall cavity. It would have been a much easier experience if we had had our new piece of equipment which we tried out earlier this week! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Little Island: January 2011
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Today we have done our second lot of essential garden maintenance this year. Last weekend the bees were checked on - they are all still with us (touch wood) and guzzling their fondant (homemade recipe now perfected and coming soon to this blog! I have been clearing out the dead stuff to make way for the new stuff, and in the process it was impossible to miss the signs of approaching spring. College on the Net.

A Little Island: Bees again!
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2011/05/bees-again.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Saturday, May 28, 2011. When we were harvesting our honey, eventually our little extractor broke and so we borrowed our association's big elecctric extractor, and got the rest of our honey. We now have 4 gallons waiting to be bottled! The frames went back to the bees - we weren't very prompt and apparently they were quite grumpy for a day or two! There's some lovely forage for them in their new apiary. Lots of clovers and wildflow...

A Little Island: Summer
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2011/06/summer.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Monday, June 27, 2011. June has been quite an unsettled month here in terms of weather - we've had scorching heat and very cold downpours! So it hasn't been the best month for the bees, especially as it is the June gap, but our hives are all doing well fortunately. This post is a catch-up session about our latest antics and a celebration of the English countryside in summer :). Feeding off clusters of aphids on the thistles; grasshopp...

A Little Island: November 2010
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. The dress has worked out really well so far, and I still haven't used most of the fabric - should be enough to make a nice poufy skirt. Some of us have handbags that are too full of food and literature to fit our phones in! So yes. I am enjoying this project. Who knows, I might (eekk.probably won't though! Get it finished in time for the Winter Solstice or New Year? Sunday, November 7, 2010. Bees in the Anti...

A Little Island: August 2011
http://arfellian.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Taking small steps towards self sufficiency and a greener way of life. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. My First Foray into Mushrooms. Where I walk the dog every day at the moment there is a large alder tree, and one day I spotted that it had a beautiful fungus growing on it. It seemed to have come up over night - unlikely, although I can't believe I missed it because it is so bright! I did some research and found out that it is Chicken of the Woods, aka the Sulphur Polypore, or Laetiporus sulphureus. Mamabert ...
