    About this ebook

    For everyone who needs a lift! The Secret of Why Bumblebees Buzz is revealed within this short story; a fun tale told from a child's perspective and intended to be read aloud.
    When 5-year-old Bobby is laughed at for not knowing how to ride his new bicycle, his bee-keeper neighbour tells him the story of young Bartholomew bumblebee who encounters a scientist during a flight through his orchard. After Bartholomew is told he can't fly and then suddenly discovers it to be true, he worries for his own bee kind as he treks back to his hive and is summoned before the Queen Bee herself, hoping there is some way to solve the mystery. Bobby finds inspiration in Bartholomew's revelation as the Secret of Why Bumblebees Buzz gets passed along to him, too.

      Dec 3, 2021

      When I was growing up, there was no such thing as balance bikes … not even foot-powered examples. You went from one of those plastic trikes to a poorly designed bicycle with training wheels. These were heavy, clunky, breakable and came in just one si

      ONE OF THE consequences of riding motorcycles is that suddenly you lose all your friends. This is fine, because motorcycles quite effectively fill the hole those feckless, non-riding bastards leave in your life. So you don’t really miss them at all.

      Straddling the bike, I firmly placed my hands on the bars and my feet on the pedals and stood, leaning forward, ready to go. Behind me, my husband Chris, 34, held the back of the seat. ‘Ready?’ he asked. I gave him the thumbs up and he let go as I wh
