She did research on what to do was and was all set to call in a \u2018bee collector\u2019. Fortunately, as it turned out, she went to speak to our neighbour first, as the bees seemed be staying on his side of the fence, and in doing so she found out that they belonged to my neighbour\u2019s son. Please don\u2019t misunderstand, they weren\u2019t supposed to be at our neighbour\u2019s, they were supposed to be in their hives further down the hill in the village, but they\u2019d made a bid for freedom and had clearly decided to visit their \u2018grandparents\u2019. Anyway, five minutes later the beekeeper arrived in search of his errant bees. The only problem is that they may have moved location. Apparently last year they chased them round the village for a week before they were reunited with their hive.<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle was feeling a lot better. Not completely himself but well enough to go out as he had planned and have a lovely time. He was worn out when he came home though and still doesn\u2019t want to stray too far from my Mistress. To be fair, why would he? She\u2019s spoiling him rotten, but then he did give us all a bit of a scare.<\/p>\n<p>Today we will all be listening to Radio York <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/radioyork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/radioyork<\/a> this afternoon from 2pm, when my Mistress is being interviewed. She is very nervous about it, but I\u2019m sure she will be fine. It\u2019s not like when she did the tv interview last year and had a camera in her face while they were filming and a microphone dangling above her head. I\u2019m just hoping she remembers to tell everyone that she owes it all to me her faithful dog.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The bees were back again yesterday and my Mistress managed to get some photos.
