Local festivities

There was certainly plenty to do locally this weekend!  Lots of free entertainment to enjoy at Sunfest, where Maestro's dance school performed a selection of dance routines. It was such a shame that the irish dance segment was rained out, but they persevered as best as they could and still performed on stage with some lovely singing.  We have some amazing young local talent here.  Later that night, the highlight was the fireworks and a concert featuring Paul Costa.

We then topped that off today with a visit to The 'J' Beekeeping School for it's annual festival.  My brother and his family joined us in the morning, in time to see them demonstrate how to open a hive.  Honey tasting, watching some hive building, and a few treats purchased (ie: some honey liqueur for us adults!), then back home for a leisurely family lunch.

 Watching the bees busy at work in their hive.

A demonstration of how to remove safely open a hive.

It's always lovely to enjoy an outing together. :)
