Grandad Oddy

On advancing to becoming a granddad, the author has derived such enjoyment from being with his family that it has inspired him to write some poetry that will hopefully, over the years, prove beneficial to the children and encourage some to become bee-keepers. The author has published in the past short stories about senior citizens and their long lives within his own parish and started a weekly notes column in the local paper which is still going on some thirty years later.
