honey honey

i went shopping yesterday with my son and got veggies and stuff.  we had brekky.  salad and zuchinni fritters for brekky are the bomb.  so delish.  then, we went to the honey 'factory'.  this place is ancient.  it's a few  suburbs away and looks like a time warp.  the building is from the 40s i'd say.  he sells every kind of honey and honey products like pollen and beeswax etc.  i got some beeswax to make some solid perfume for gifts.  i hope it works.  i got some manuka honey which is supposed to be great.  usually i only like indonesian honey.  it's so mild and delicate in flavour.  apparently honey is one of the few food items that doesn't go off.  if it chrysalises just put it over hot water and stir until it gets back to normal.  i have it with green tea and a quarter teaspoon of organic cinnamon.  delish.  here is a pic of the honey factory -


you may have to click on it it enlarge it.  the bloke who runs it is a character.  he offered to pose in the yard working the pulley thingy.  he had a 'grumpy old man' tshirt on but wasn't really that grumpy.  pity that we didn't get a pic of him. 

we had a full on thunderstorm in adelaide yesterday.  lots of rain and amazing thunder and lightening.  bit scary really.  quite a bit of damage done around the city but we escaped any damage/power cuts so thats good.  enjoy your day wherever you are.  :)

    I think I can count on one hand the times I've had honey. I'm not sure why.

    That Honey place sounds great :-)
    I recently had a bad wound and put pure honey (straight from a mates bee hive) on it.. even the Dr and Nurse agreed it was a good thing to do.. Honey is AMAZING!
    I am sure it is a part of a healthy Unicorns diet.....

      hi Matthew, i have heard that pure honey is great for such injuries. why only last week my unicorn, Howard, cut his foot and honey worked wonders, he's back in business as if nothing happened. no scar either. :)

    The factory looks a bit worse for ware but the honey sounds delicious. It is so expensive these days for pure honey. I love it on porridge in winter. I like Beechworth honey best. Glad you had no damage in the scary storm.

    Honey is a natural product & supposed to be good for us...doesn't matter what the honey place looks like its the product that is produced that counts.
    Hope all is well with you :) xxx
