Or you might wish to to book me for a talk to your club, or to judge your honey show or ask for a skep to be made for you.

SWARM TAKING WITH A SKEP, to be found by clicking BEEKEEPING AND SKEPS
My interests include :
beekeeping (I am a BBKA Senior Judge for honey shows and have over 30 years experience with bees),
basketmaking (I make willow baskets, useful rather than arty),
skepmaking (straw beehives) especially reproductions of the past,
natural history
playing the horn (and the violin and viola, badly)
languages (try me in French, German, Russian, Spanish or Esperanto).
I play horn in the

Newton Blossomville is where I live.
You will find several websites about this village if you Google search.
Newton is in the northern end of Buckinghamshire, England, now part of the "New City" of Milton Keynes, although it is in the countryside well outside the City area.
About 250 of us live here in about 90 houses. The name means "New Farm belonging to Blosseville". New 900 years ago, that is.
The Blosseville name comes from Normandy in France - the story is that the village was given to one Duc de Blosseville by King William I.
We have visited our namesake village Blosseville sur Mer in Normandy and one or two people from there have visited us, including some whose family name is still Blosseville.
Making a Website (is easy)
A number of people have expressed surprise that I run my own website, but they have not found out about "MrSite", which is a service making writing your own website and keeping it up to date as easy as using a word processor.
If I can do it, so can you. I'm no IT wizard.
And all for less than £40 a year subscription.
It can cost more to keep your email free of spam!
If you want to find out more just click the little MrSite logo at the bottom of one of these pages.
