They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.....

Sarah, Summer and baby Sky popped in to HoneyBees on Friday to collect their hamper, Sarah says she has never won anything before so we're glad we could be the first!! Well done guys, have fun discovering all the eco and organic products inside......  :-)
