I am delighted to announce that my wife, Connie, has just had her first book published (by Amazon). It’s the first in a series, aimed at children, about our awesome Chow Chow Odin!!
ALL of the profits are going to Fenella’s Chow Chow Rescue, in Norfolk.

If you like spiders and are able to attend, please think about coming along. I do believe there are a few people coming to these lectures that have watched my videos, so there will be a few first timers 😁

The King Baboon #tarantula Research on these giants is rare so we traveled to film them in their habitat, all of which will be published soon as a British Arachnological Society paper, @TarantulaSoc article and, of course, as a film on our YouTube channel. #Tanzania #bugsnstuff
