More Lovely Links

I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THIS SECTION INFORMATIVE, IF NOT A LITTLE ENTERTAINING.

Thesehave been salvaged from the Original Bill’s Space and are only roughly sorted at the moment. I hope to break them into categories soon but these range from Calligraphy / Blogs / Art /Design / Teachers resources / History / RE /Museums, Galleries, etc.

If your blog / site  is not listed, it is not that I don’t rate it, just that I have not had time so far to cram everything in. To make sure you are included, add your URL etc to comments and I’ll be pleased to paste them in.

If you have enjoyed browsing or downloading and would like to give something back, please make a donation to one of our local charities.
