(And when I met a beekeeper the other day who told me that beekeeping law in London is very simple — you're just not allowed to cause a "public nuisance" — but that honey-selling law is very complicated, and her honey labels are technically illegal because they place the imperial measure weight before the metric weight.)

That's amazing! Seriously, there were years in which the only dreams I could remember having involved monks, every time. And you already know we share a fondness for bees. So, these cookies thrill me more than I can say. You just took years of my dream imagery and stuck it in cookie form in fabulous photos on the internet! That’s amazing!

I like the idea of savoury biscuits, and garlic is lovely of course, but whenever I've had whole cloves of it they've been horrible spurty messes of goo, the sort of thing that would be replaced in Cockaigne with some nice melted white chocolate or a grape. Ryan: I never had much of an opinion on bees (except that I didn't like being stung by them) until I absent-mindedly ended up with "several bees" as a username, at which point lots of people began telling me exciting bee stuff and I was convinced that they were fantastic. Perhaps if I change to "several spiders" I'll be able to get over my mild fear of those as well. Bateleur: Argh.

I'm horrified of bees, but bumblebees, I'm only mildly unsettled by, because they're so cute. That is just about the cutest thing ever.
