We hope you had a very enjoyable Yule and would like to wish you a very happy 2010.
The weather has made things difficult for many of us – one of our own family got trapped at work overnight and we know of someone who was forced to spend the night on a comfy bed in John Lewis at High Wycombe. Here at Emerald we still have a bit of ice around and the forecast is for more snow starting this evening. Looks like it’s time for a second visit to Narnia within a fortnight!
Traditionally the Winter Solstice heralds a time of stillness and it has certainly lived up to expectations this time.
The hens are having a bit of a hard time with the cold and egg production has dropped right down. The bees have not been out for weeks. They had plenty of food in the hives going into winter so hopefully they will be OK. The queens start to lay eggs soon and the colonies will begin expanding so they will consume more food. We will give them some extra rations as soon as it warms up a bit and the hive rooves can be taken off. This will help them through until they can go out foraging for early pollen on crocus, snowdrop, pussy willow, etc.
Our long-awaited Gaea Year Book is now available in the shop and lists all the planned events for 2010. The things happening in the next two months are listed below.
Blessings to you all
Keri and Mark
