Lovely local honey

I am delighted to be a stockist for Martin Ainsworth's local honey. It seems my customers are too. The jars of honey from bees in the Bolton area, are flying off the shelves. Maybe it's because local honey is reported to be a natural treatment for hay fever, or maybe it's just because it's delicious. Either way it's clear that you love it, I only hope that Martin's bees can produce enough!

THYME FOR AN ALLOTMENT?

This year, for the first time i have attempted to grow veg in my garden at home. Tonight I harvested my first crop - some lovely peas. Ok so there were only about 8 pods ready to be eaten, but what they lacked in numbers they more than made up for in taste. They were the sweetest peas i have ever tasted and i am hoping the plants will produce more yet. Now I am looking hopefully at my broad beans, courgettes, squash and tomatoes, maybe I will even have enough for a whole meal!! I wonder if i should put my name down for an allotment?
