1st June, 2009Following complaints I have made the following alterations:
(1) It should now be possible to print off from the web properly instead of missing half pages.
(2) I have also separated the chapters so that you do not have to scroll through the whole story each time to find your place;
just remember which chapter you were reading.
(3) Someone asked about the war so have added a bit at the end of chapter one.
(4) The above alterations have slowed things down a bit so please bear with me.

Since Kath died the output of the Beresford Puppets is sadly diminished. I am still making puppets and having students to the house for most aspects of puppetry but mainly the making of puppets of any type, including carving. Beginners or improvers.
At last I am getting "My story, what I wrote" under way at last. The first twelve chapters are there for all to see and criticise; new chapters will be added as I find time to get them written and illustrated. My apologies to those without broadband which probably means that the story will be rather slow downloading with all the pictures and sketches but I don't think there is an answer to that problem from my end (If you can get it in your area use Virgin's cable broadband, it is fibre optics and you simply cannot get faster).
When Kath died I felt that it was time to retire gracefully, put my feet up and watch telly but no such luck; there still seem to be plenty of work to do. The mini street organ is coming on nicely, the front figure is finished and I am now woking on the electronics that makes him conduct in time to the music. There are a few puppets that people are waiting for and another puppeteer coming here for tuition for a couple of days.
*Then there is the cooking, washing and other household time wasters but apart from that my time is my own. Kath is probably looking down and tapping her foot as I have now moved all woodcarving, painting and light construction work into the conservatory. Not only is the light in there excellent but it is so much warmer than the workshop (garage). In the cold weather I rush out there, use the band saw or pillar drill and rush back in again!
