DON'T FORGET THE HONEY!

POOH BEAR AND THE HONEY TREE (Part 1)

I was scraping out the honey jar this morning,
thinking how much I enjoy the taste, and believing

 it to be one of the most wholesome nutritious foods,

 when I found myself thinking about Pooh Bear and

 his honey adventures.

How I love Pooh Bear. This goes way back to when

 I was given my Christopher Robin story book as a

class prize in Infant school. Once  again sitting in my

usual place in the garden, I delighted in the lovely pictures,

the verses, the characters and their adventures. No-one

dared to disturb me,- I  was in Heaven!

 So I thought that, this morning I would treat us to a video

of part of Pooh's honey adventure. An animated version, I like

the feel of the interpretation---just simple relaxation

With a little nostalgia.

Honey is a prolific food in Malta,and so it should

be  with it's translated name Melita.The difficulty

though is in trying to be sure that it is really pure

with no added sugar or from sugar- fed bees.

A well known expert bee-keeper is Arnold Grech

who lives in Attard and has won many awards in recognition

of his expertise.People believe in his honey to help

cure many ailments and it is truly delicious.

Recently we have discovered another source who will

deliver the honey, and offers a range of jar sizes.

It's a family run apiary at Bahrija

the predominant flavours being  thyme,

clover and carob.His website is quite informative.

Meanwhile-'Long live honey!' It certainly adds

sweetness to the day's journey.
