This Good Life Day will examine the following:
Making cheese, curing bacon
Preparing to keep bees
Preparing to keep poultry
Making sausages
Once you have picked up the easy skills of cheese making you will not look back, and can go on to a whole world of cheese at home. The Good Life Day will start by starting a cheese which will be ready for the final stages of cheese making by the end of the day.
We will look at a number of methods of curing bacon, and explore the simplest, overnight bacon cure.
You really will not believe how easy home curing can be and how fantastically tasty the final product is.
Those of you wanting to keep bees and popultry in the garden will benefit from this course, you will find out how to set about installing your own colonies, and what you have to do to get started. This day will not turn you into a beekeer overnioght, but will go a long way to answer your questions. And you will be able to get up close to bees too!

Informative and useful
- Rob, 29 August 2011
The course told us what we wanted to know and gave us the opportunity to experience bees at close quarters. A bit too close for Paul as he got stung a few times. The course was very informal and space for participants in the classroom somewhat limited. However, Paul was interesting knowlegable and humorous. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks
Good for beginners

Might need to advise future interested parties that the course is very much an overview of beekeeping in general with the opportunity to actually handle bees live. The handling was very much the key point for us.
A great day

For just a one day course this was a great day. Paul is a totally natural speaker, friendly & very informative. Bee hive is ordered.
Very Informative, Relaxed and Enjoyable
- Tyler, 26 August 2009
Dear Paul/Diana I just wanted to write and thank you for the very relaxing, informative and highly interesting session you delivered on Saturday morning. Although I was not necessarily scared of going into the hives, I was a little apprehensive. The very calm and relaxed way you presented yourselves however, was very reassuring and gave me a lot of confidence. I even remember noting part way through the second inspection that I had almost forgot the presence of the several thousand bees flying about. Once again, thank you very much for the experience, you have given me the confidence to pursue this hobby further and may I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours. I am particularly interested in the work you are doing with Manchester council and hope this all goes very well. Kindest Regards Tyler
