When I’m not flying helicopters or writing books I like to relax with various sorts of craft work. A short time ago I found this fun new craft – Pixelhobby. It enables you to make your own mosaics, using tiny plastic tiles on a baseplate. No cutting or glueing is involved, and it’s the sort of thing you can do in odd moments. You can even use the Pixelhobby software to make mosaics from your own photos. Anyway, when my supplier decided to give up I bought all her supplies, and…well, you can find out the rest by going to the Pixelhobby website.

Many thanks to the dragon for giving me some web space. I’m a helicopter instructor, working at Tatenhill Airfield, near Burton-on-Trent. Helicopters are tremendous fun, so if you fancy having a go, have a look at my web pages and then contact me to book a trial lesson - or even a whole Private Pilot’s Licence course.
| I’ve also written a book about helicopters. The Helicopter Pilot’s Companion (Airlife Publishing, ISBN 978 1 84797 049 7, £12.99) will be published next month, and you can already order it from Amazon. Like most books these days it’s been printed in the Far East, but one copy was sent air mail, so I already have it – and it does look rather good, though I say it myself. It’s written in mainly non-technical language, so should be accessible to the helicopter enthusiast as well as those who actually fly little whirly machines. I’ll be selling signed copies at no extra cost and postage free…but not until late November as I’m going on holiday round about publication date. But if you’re interested, send an email to helen.krasner@dragonthoughts.com, and I’ll let you have some details. |
| This wasn’t my first book. Years ago I walked 5000 miles around the coast of Britain and wrote a book about it. I self-published Midges, Maps & Muesli, and it did rather well, eventually selling out. So recently it was re-published, with an extra chapter explaining how I went from being a long distance walker to a helicopter instructor! If any of that has you wanting to know more, you can again get copies on Amazon, or signed from me at £9.95…again, send me an email. |
Right, I’m off to sort out some marketing stuff for the helicopter book. Bye for now.
