Hello, welcome to my new website. I hope you will find something here to inform, enlighten and or amuse.
There are two levels, the first are several sections about myself and what I do, and although you may find parts annoyingly self indulgent they are at least completely free. Then there are further sections where you get a chunk for free (which change regularly so come back and browse again) though if you want to access all the rest then I ask for a small contribution towards my extravagant lifestyle. You can join as a member for three months or a year by clicking here
1) Bob’s Biography - who am I and what have I done link. (Possibly some names & dates changed to protect the guilty but it is as accurate as most CVs…..) Includes early life, aims and achievements and mentions various magazines and blogs I’ve written for or still write for, with links to a couple of sites with a nice article on myself, and for those curious about the name “Flowerdew”, there is a wee section on genealogical aspects.read more...
