This blog is dedicated to the memory of Joe Roberts. Whether swans are dangerous or otherwise, there can be no doubt that swans are very 'nice' birds indeed! Please feel encouraged to send any 'swan based' content and links you would like added to this blog. No swans were harmed in the making of this blog nor are any kept on the blog over night!

Those Tudors loved a Swan

Bill by Mouth
" The NBbD Team were delighted to receive this interesting swan themed photograph from Lulu, one of our regulars, in Didcot.
When one considers the skill that went into creating these wonderful and lifelike sculptures 'blown by mouth, you cannot be other than impressed'. The length of training required, to ensure that the artist does not suck instead of blow, is an industry secret.
After considerable discussion amongst the team, we came to the collective view that 'blowing' so many swans takes dedication, skill and raw courage in the greater Didcot area" - Editor of NBbD.
