Golding discovers ancient graffitti carved in the rocks of a Greek island, by long gone lovers.  Wishing you, as we move into late summer, many bee-buzzing hours.  Having planted swathes of lavender and sun-shine gaillardia, we are enjoying clouds of humming. 

Their love-lorn friends carved their names on the rocks through all the long bee-buzzing hours.
