well we trotted off to Thornes of Windsor and got everything on the list. Tim is on the deck with the workmate making up frames as I type. I would say though that if you intend to give Thornes a personal visit in Windsor its not signposted in any way so sat nav is vital (its tucked down a tiny potholed drive behind some houses - very easy to miss!)

which was the clue we went by, but it doesn't say Thornes on it and you could easily sail by.. Interesting place though.

They are very helpful there too. I know what you mean though. We used to live about a mile away from there, and had no idea it was there at all.

We're just down the road from the Wragby shop, and I managed to get almost all of my gear in the Sale. Couldn't afford a suit, as I went for a larger honey extractor, but I'm hoping to get one at the National. attended a great course for beginners last Autumn, and joined the local club, so I'm already having fun before the bees arrive.
