To Swarm or Not To Swarm

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Easter for the weekend just passed, and "Christ has arisen!" for those back home, who have just celebrated Easter this Sunday. In Cyprus, Christian Orthodox, celebrate Easter on the 28th of April (in case you were wondering about my comment). I spent my …

Volunteered to represent the Association in one more show, the Dassett Country Show. To sum it up, I have three words: Hot, hot, hot. Oh, and of course, wasps. I was happy to share my passion and get quite a few people " Ah..."-ing and "Oh..."-ing and "Didn't know that!"-ing.

“Why do you do it then?”

I played Badminton for a while, once a week, with friends - nothing competitive or serious.

They then decided it was more challenging and exciting for them to go …
