New Years Day 2021

 I usually like to start the New Year with an Inspirational Text or beautiful photo - full of Promise.

This Wayside Pulpit pretty much sums up my feelings about 2020.

Unfortunately - It is not that simple, I wish it were.

We hope and Pray that 2021 will be a Year of Hope and Healing.

New Years Day 2000 was a Day we will never forget.  It started as a Normal NYD - Pancakes at Maccas for Brekkie treat.

Ended with our DD being admitted to Hospital dangerously close to a Diabetic Coma. 
Today marks her 21st Anniversary as a Type 1 Diabetic.  We have ridden the Highs and the Lows (literally) of this condition. She says it is part of who she is and refuses to "be a Victim" to it.

New Years Day 2021 - Started equally simply. 

I wondered about Brekkie at Maccas (just for old times sake) but decided to go help DD check her Bees instead. 
A job that was long overdue.

What we didn't know was 'The Girls' were extremely grumpy.


We were both in full Bee Suits. We are still not sure HOW but DD got stung under her chin.

It was one sting too many. 

Our Family "Christmas Curse" has struck again. And with a feeling of Déjà Vu I found myself back, by her side in Emergency.



She now has a new "Alert" on her file.

Allergy - Bee Stings.

We have Epi-pens and instructions on how to use them.

But it leaves us with a Big Question.

How do we handle the (Very Grumpy Hive of)  Bees from now on?


Look like life has just got a Little Bit more complicated.

  1. Wow, you really know how to make life interesting!

    Glad it turned out OK on the day, but that's a worry. I have heard of people who have had to give up bee-keeping after developing a sting allergy.
