Notice

Dave Cushman died on 22nd February 2011 and shortly before he died he asked me to take over his websites. I later learnt he bequeathed them to me. I am a beekeeper and we discussed the future of the beekeeping website with Dave telling me I could develop it how I wished. He specifically asked that all non-beekeeping websites and pages stay exactly as they are and I promised I would maintain them as long as I could. I understand his reasons and will respect them, so I am unable to accept any offers of additions or updates.

My life has been hectic and full of many excesses, I have lived and loved up to the hilt. I have done more than most people could cram into ten lifetimes. I've hardly made a mark on history, but I have enjoyed myself and I hope I have enriched the life of others. Should I die tomorrow I have no regrets, and if I were to have my time again I would make all the same mistakes... Simply because any changes would alter everything and I would not be the same person that I am now.

This gallery is not a "police line up", but me at various ages.

This gives an insight into the manufacturing business I used to have. The logo of which is depicted at right. The logo itself was derived from the overall shape of a WBC beehive, the initial thoughts for which, occurred as the result of a traffic jam one morning on my journey to work.

This gives some personal information and a little personal history... There are also links to the websites of villages that are local to me.
I have started this, (but it may take some time to populate with pictures). I also have to adjust my mind to go for smaller images that are more compact and transmit faster in this medium.
A family tree page has also been started, but I have not yet sorted out how to accommodate many previous generations and side shoots. (I now have a few such ideas)

There have been many other aspects to my life that are not recorded here... They include Canoeing, Motorcycling, Motorcycle rallying, Motorcycle sprinting, Grass track racing, Moto-Cross marshaling, Motorcycle trials, Cricket, Snooker refereeing, Mountain and rock climbing and others. Maybe, if I live long enough I will be able to mention some of these items and events on this website.
