The people of Yorkshire would gather around their beehives at midnight on Christmas eve as they believed the bees would all start humming to mark the birth of Jesus Christ.
It is recorded and claimed that they actually did.
Even after 1752 when the calendar changed and 12 days disappeared, the bees noticed the change and still buzzed at exactly midnight on Christmas Eve.

Hi :D Here's the book I need to read by Sunday-

Doing good, I think, rather interesting, should be able to finish the last 300 or so pages over the weekend :)
I'm currently reading the 'Canary Colored Caravan of Death'.

Quite a few options!

Evening, Lyn, busy day?
Evening Adam hope all is well.
Yes keeping busy trying to declutter my house - most of the stuff isn't mine but when I emptied my sister's house anything I didn't have chance to sort was just dumped in boxes here, so trips to tip charity shop and recycling all day.

Crikey!

Just checked, degenerative wasting and possibly a type of TB.

Well there you go - that has been stuck in my mind all these years - maybe it was another poet?
Seem to be going around in circles really. Seem to have more mess than when I started but hem you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. (Well you can of you buy the microwaveable ones - but I don't like really like eggs much.)
