Treat yourself or your 'stove monitor' to the Fan-C HT for Christmas - ideal if you ar eshort on ideas for those that have everything and really don't nead anymore socks !

December is here with the wet cold typical of our winters - get yoru stoves upto to temperature !

I was lucky to be invited to attend a small network / gathering at the Buxton Opera House to listen to a talk given by Olivier of Peak Honey http://www.peakhoney.co.uk/

This is a man passionate about bees & honey and pleasure to listen to - the venue - on the stage at the Opera House was intimate and provided an opportunity to get a real feeling of the house - I have new found respect for those who stand on the stage only a few feet from the critics and fans alike !

The honey tasting after the talk was a real treat, but for me the sampling of honey comb fresh cut and dribbling honey was a true delight. At £5 for a 1lb jar of moorlands honey the product is hard pressed to compete with the imported pasteurized and refined product on most of teh supermarket shelves - but then shouldn't we all be buying local honey now  and helping support this ancient craft and in doing so promoting the benefits of the bee in our environment ? I know I will from now on.

If you get the chance to attend a presentation by Olivier, or better still see him at the farmers market at the Pavilion Gardens - have a chat  and buy the honey a real taste of the Peak District.

We have a new member to welcome to our number. Rebecca Clitheroe.

Having spent a day producing a time lapse sequence to compress 6 hrs of drawing into a little over a minute of an mpeg movie, it was impressive to watch the creation emerge from the page as the details, colour and tone were added by Beccy. We have agreed to produce a second time lapse sequence as Beccy completes a second image for her page on Peak District Creations.  We will add further details to the page and images of previous work from Beccy, so please do come back and take a look in a few weeks. 
If you would like a truly personal gift for a loved one this Christmas get in touch soon as Beccy has limited time for producing such works.

You can see the Youtube sequnce here

Please use the contact form if you would like to contact Beccy
