Martin B Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's unlikely that I will be at the market for somewhile because of work commitments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuscluck Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonix Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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 Stacey xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks again for the continued welcomes! Hope everything is ok in NZ Kate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 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!
