Bee Swarms

Walter from Point Chevalier

Hello neighbours,
Spring and summer are the month where bee colonies are starting to swarm. It is their natural way of reproduction. At this stage they can look menacing, but in reality are quite docile.
If you see a bee swarm in your garden or neighbourhood, please do not ring pest control, call me and I will come to collect them. I’m am a local beekeeper and used to work with bees.
A big thank you in advance
Walter

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Murray Halberg Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
