COOOOEEEE - Hi Martin

How lovely to hear from you.

I have been thinking about you & your exams as my daughter has had her mocks - hope all went well.

What exams have you just done?

Hope they went well

[Martin B]

I've just had my GCSE's. Very stressful, at points you ask yourself why you are putting yourself through it all again to get A-Levels. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end!

 

I'll call my half Snowy aswell Debs, quite a unique name for a black spotted pig!

Hello stranger!

 

My you have been busy

 

Not too long for the exam results now, so you will soon see if all your academic work has paid off as well as your self sufficiency work!

Im sure you will have done really well

 

Hope to see you soon Martin - when are you next at the market?

[Martin B]

It's unlikely that I will be at the market for somewhile because of work commitments!

The joys of being a working teenager eh?!

Hey Martin, it's great to see you back again . It certainly sounds like you've been busy, but I hope that now the school and exam pressure is off you'll manage to find a bit of time for us

[Karen & co.]

Welcome back Martin.

 

I wondered where you had disappeard to.

[missuscluck]

Hi Martin, nice to see you back on the forum. Hope the exams went well and that you get good grades. The bees are looking good.

Hey Martin - didn't know you before so thought I'd just say hello!

 

I know that the work for GCSE's seems alot and seems pointless and you wonder why your doing it just to put yourself through it again at A lever but honestly it is worth it! Im at uni and yeah its been hard work getting here but id never go back - my little brother gets his GCSE's this year and I think teh best advice that he's had is that as long as he worked as hard as he could whatever he gets he can look back with no regrets...

I think that works the same for you as you seem to have worked really hard

Thanks again for the continued welcomes!

 

Hope everything is ok in NZ Kate.

Welcome back Martin! Hope the exams went well.

 

I loved it when I went to Sardinia many years ago. Did you see any nuraghi?

 

I am also very jealous of your lovely hive. I would love to keep bees. Did you join a local bee-keeping assocaiation and learn the ropes beforehand?

[TheGirlsMum]

Welcome back, thought about you and checked your old blog as I have just got some quail eggs to go in the incubator.

 

Prospectus has come out for Truro college and they've put bee keeping on again. Hopefully I will bee more successful this year.

[Martin B]

nuraghi?

 

 

I might have, but I don't know what it is!

 

I joined the Stratford Beekeepers Association back in January or February and attended their beginners course. The Association is run brilliantly and I am so glad that Lesley introduced me to them!

 

Good luck with the eggs TGM, I am hoping to have some eggs by wednesday (chickens or geese)! If I choose geese I have somebody who wants them anyway, probably will keep to hens though!
