    Hi Amanda, I'm from Suffolk but now we're up in Norfolk. 

    We saw a beautiful hornet in Norfolk yesterday when we had lunch by the river. image

    Lots of bees over the weekend on my fuchsias and honeysuckle.
  • Hi Doveroomabove.

    wonderful creatures not too keen on the poss invasion of the asian Hornet though as its favourite meal is honey bee its now a real pest in europe and the channel is our only defence.image hopefully it wont get here as our poor bees are under enough pressure.

  • I have just noticed flying ants emerging in my garden. The weather is exceptionally warm for October, but this seems ridiculously late for them!

    Ah, my daughter lived in Hadleigh for a while some years ago - a very pretty area.

    I grew up in a tiny village near Debenham and while my children were growing up we lived in a village between Framlingham and Halesworth.  Ma lives at Southwold, brother farms near Woodbridge, daughter now lives in Ipswich and son lives near Snape.  I love Suffolk image
