beekeepers meeting Marley Hill Mar 17 1

On Saturday 4th March, I helped run a bee improvement day at Marley Hill Community Centre for beekeepers in the North East. I was there to help serve teas and coffees, not be a lecturer! Alas, I had to leave at 11am as I was double booked. I had to go down to Whickham with our billy goat, Spotless, for a planting event. I had been invited and asked to bring a goat to help promote the event. I was back at Marley Hill at 3pm, just in time to miss most of the bee improvement day.

Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
