I have also enabled commenting on some of the miscellaneous blog posts, on beekeeping and on mapping.

This is an investigation of mapping processes and links to my father's work as a geographer. This came out of a need to map a 100 acre bush block in the Waitakere ranges, west of Auckland. I then moved to a flatter more farm like site, where easy public access is available. I made both a 3d map, useful for presentation purposes, and available as a downloadable model, and more traditional 2d maps, spatially linked to data and useful for ongoing management.

Introduction​

This post is about building hiveware for beekeeping. It is historical, as due to time constraints I am not keeping bees at present.

The mode of writing of the family memoir and history presented here is not original. Tolstoy is deliberately quoted but unackowledged, and the whole is considered using ideas drawn from Edmund Gosse, Father and Son. As well, I have always been fascinated by Phillip Henry Gosse's Omphalos Theory. A learned article is here

This one is aboy a shared family interest in racing sailboats. TWC crewed for Peter Smith on Moana.
