The Golden Company at Borough Market
On Saturday Alva and I dodged the rain and joined the throng at Borough Market, we were there to meet some of the young people who are part of the golden company http://www.thegoldenco-op.com/ . The Golden company is a social enterprise working with inner city young people producing honey and related projects. I interviewed some of the young beekeepers whilst at Borough and am looking forward to going to see them in action working with the bees in East London.
